Major League Baseball 2K6 Review
The apathetic presentation and a slew of gameplay bugs make it hard to enjoy Major League Baseball 2K6, which is otherwise a deep and feature-rich baseball simulation.

Red Orchestra is an enjoyable, team-based online shooter for those who like the Battlefield-style games but want a more technical and realistic experience.
Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII Review
Blazing Angels has a decent campaign and a fair amount of online options, but its standard gameplay and a lack of online competition prevent it from being very exciting.
Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers Review
Ten Hammers maintains a good presentation and adds some minor control tweaks, but overall you're left with a strategy experience that feels very familiar if you played the first game.
The Tower SP Review
There's plenty to do early on while playing The Tower SP, but after three hours or so, you can literally watch it play itself.
Pokémon Trozei Review
A meager selection of gameplay modes keeps Trozei from being essential, but the core gameplay remains engaging, regardless.
2006 FIFA World Cup Review
2006 FIFA World Cup does a good job of re-creating the carnival atmosphere that surrounds the competition, but it suffers from frequent and obnoxious slowdown.
2006 FIFA World Cup Review

Once you get past the novelty, there's nothing to keep you playing Real World Golf.
Pro Evolution Soccer Management Review
Konami takes Pro Evolution Soccer off the pitch and into the manager's office, but this management sim is facing relegation.

Dragon Booster is a halfhearted and practically unplayable racing game with no redeeming qualities.
Street Supremacy Review
Genki's latest foray into the world of Tokyo freeway racing is unsuccessful in practically every way that matters.
Zatch Bell! Electric Arena Review

Fritz 9: Play Chess Review
The strengths of Fritz 9 will likely only appeal to the most advanced chess players.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare Review
Mutant Nightmare is a good beat-'em-up at heart, but it's totally bogged down by platforming elements, puzzles, and touch screen features that don't work, not to mention stuffy controls.
Wild Arms 4 Review
Wild Arms 4 is largely a standard by-the-book role-playing game, but the unique battle system and other touches still make it a worthy journey.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX Review
One of Capcom's last great fighting games is now fully intact on the PSP, right down to the last pixel. It even boasts some extras not found in previous versions.

Far Cry Instincts Evolution Review
Far Cry Instincts Evolution follows up last year's excellent shooter with a new campaign and enhanced multiplayer.
Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers Review
Ten Hammers maintains a great presentation and adds some minor control tweaks, but overall you're left with a strategy experience that feels very familiar if you played the first game.

Go! Sudoku Review
Go! Sudoku is a competent package, but due to the pervasive nature of Sudoku these days, you probably don't need to spend any money to get puzzles like this.
Rainbow Striker Review
Rainbow Striker is a cool little soccer game with nice controls, but it's currently only available on Japanese handsets.
Guilty Gear Dust Strikers Review
Dust Strikers defies convention for the worse, resulting in an awkward and frustrating fighting game.
Metal Saga Review
Metal Saga has the makings of a good role-playing game, but there's nothing to tie it all together.
Jewel Quest Review
Jewel Quest sticks a little too close to the Bejeweled formula for its own good, but it does require you to master a different set of strategies.
WinBack 2: Project Poseidon Review
From its bland, generic premise to its one-note gameplay, WinBack 2 does nothing that another third-person shooter hasn't already done better.
EyeToy: Operation Spy Review
EyeToy: Operation Spy has got some really cool features, but not enough of them to form a truly substantial game.
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie Review
It isn't quite as impressive looking as its console counterparts, and it's a short ride, but there's still a great time to be had with King Kong on the PC.
Gretzky NHL '06 Review
This is a fairly lackluster game of hockey that doesn't really need to be in your PSP collection.
NBA Live 06 Review
While NBA Live 06 does its best to put a new face on its game, the series as a whole still feels stuck in neutral--waiting to get to the next level.
Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop Review
Corner Shop is silly and fun in the beginning, but the gameplay quickly wears thin.
EA Sports Arena Football Review
EA Sports' take on arena football is mostly a mechanically sound game of football, but it doesn't quite nail the thrill of the real sport.
Curious George Review
The GBA version of Curious George's latest adventure is a more challenging affair than its console counterparts--unfortunately, it isn't a longer one.
80 Days Review
It may sport a literary pedigree, but 80 Days is little more than a clunky adventure game with a bad sense of humor and lots of bugs.
Rugby 06 Review
Rugby 06 is fast-paced and hard-hitting, with enough control tweaks to warrant a look.
Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll Review
Touch & Roll for the DS offers more or less everything you'd expect from a Monkey Ball game, but it doesn't do a whole lot more than that.
Need for Speed Most Wanted Review
This watered-down imitation of the console game has some glaring problems.
PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient Review
It's highly dubious as a measurable test of your logical mind, but PQ can still be a fun, challenging puzzle game.
The Bible Game Review
Underneath the religious overtones is a mediocre party game that shouldn't get much play, even at a Catholic school retreat.
The Bible Game Review
Underneath the religious overtones is a mediocre party game that shouldn't get much play, even at a Catholic school retreat.
WWII Tank Commander Review
This budget action game has its moments, but it's also a very shallow experience with very little depth or replayability.
Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd Review
Max'd gets the basic mechanics right, but it's marred by game-stopping bugs and a generally sloppy execution.
Diner Dash Review
Diner Dash is a fun and addictive game that's both simple and challenging enough to keep you entertained for as much time as you have to spare.
Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath Review
Cuban Missile Crisis is a unique strategy game with a very cool premise and setting, though the combat itself can be a difficult mess.
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X Review
Maverick Hunter X is a remake that will appeal to old-timers and newcomers alike.
MVP 06 NCAA Baseball Review
Its overly plain presentation will probably turn off the casual set, but MVP 06 NCAA Baseball's top-notch gameplay is exactly what baseball purists are looking for.
Zatch Bell! Mamodo Battles Review
This undemanding fighter may be good enough for anime fans, but the game is too simple for fighting fans and too self-referential for anyone else.
Crash Tag Team Racing Review
The racing isn't exactly the star of the show, but Crash Tag Team Racing's supplemental elements pull the whole thing together into a unique and mostly enjoyable experience.
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects Review
Marvel Nemesis has been engineered in such a way that you must slog through the game's weakest parts to gain access to its best features--and you'll have to wrestle with some serious balance and gameplay issues along the way.
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie Review
It won't take you long to blow through King Kong, but its sometimes thrilling, often tense, and always entertaining adventure is absolutely worth checking out.
Crash Tag Team Racing Review
The racing isn't exactly the star of the show, but Crash Tag Team Racing's supplemental elements pull the whole thing together into a unique and mostly enjoyable experience.
Final Fantasy IV Advance Review
Final Fantasy IV, arguably the breakthrough entry in the influential series, is a perfect fit for the Game Boy Advance and is a must-play experience for fans of role-playing games.
World Poker Tour 2K6 Review
World Poker Tour is the best of the console poker bunch--though that isn't necessarily saying an awful lot.
Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Review
Namco's back catalog deserves better than this slapped-together cash-in.
Spartan: Total Warrior Review
With just a bit more effort, Spartan could have been great. But it's still worth playing if you're especially interested in the subject matter or in hack-and-slash action games in general.
Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows Review
Whether you play it alone or with friends, this uninspired update to the '80s swords-and-sorcery arcade dungeon crawl misses the mark with its boring, mindless action and short, forgettable quest.
Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows Review
Whether you play it alone or with friends, this uninspired update to the '80s swords-and-sorcery arcade dungeon crawl misses the mark with its boring, mindless action and short, forgettable quest.
S.L.A.I.: Steel Lancer Arena International Review
S.L.A.I.'s fast-paced combat and accessible controls, combined with a lengthy story mode, make it one of the more enjoyable robot-combat games in recent memory.
Dig Dug: Digging Strike Review
If you came in looking for a throwback to the arcade days of Dig Dug, you should probably look elsewhere.
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection Review
Pinball Hall of Fame delivers some accurate re-creations of some of Gottlieb's classic pinball tables, but the graphics get a little muddy in spots.
Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Review
It may have 16 solid arcade hits, but if you care at all about visual accuracy in your arcade compilations, this package most definitely isn't for you.
Crash Tag Team Racing Review
The racing isn't the star of the show, and the load times are painful, but Crash Tag Team Racing's supplemental elements pull the whole thing together into a mostly enjoyable experience.
Gretzky NHL '06 Review
Hockey fans will be able to play Gretzky '06 without much frustration or duress, but that's really about all you can say for it.
Ikari Warriors Review
Ikari Warriors was a great arcade game, and this is a great version of that arcade game.
Battlefield 2: Special Forces Review
With its focus on infantry and urban combat, Special Forces delivers more of the intense and insanely fun Battlefield 2 gameplay; at least, it does if you can get it running.
Pong / Asteroids / Yar's Revenge Review
This compilation merely makes for a marginally enjoyable trip down memory lane, albeit without any notable features or a high-score save.
NBA Live 06 Review
While NBA Live 06 does its best to put a new face on its game, the series as a whole still feels stuck in neutral--waiting to get to the next level.
Super Sky Diving 3D Review
Super Sky Diving plays like the worst levels of Pilotwings 64, only without the (formerly) impressive graphics.
Suikoden Tactics Review
Suikoden Tactics offers solid turn-based strategy gameplay with a couple of unique twists that make it fun for newcomers and veterans alike.
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Review
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 is a good addition to the series, but it's not different enough to appeal to anyone other than the biggest of DDR fans.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Review
Sluggish controls and lifeless gameplay make Ghost in the Shell worth playing only for loyal fans of the anime, and even then it isn't worth more than a rental.
Kameo: Elements of Power Review
Plenty of original, funny, visually stunning, and fun-filled moments await in Kameo: Elements of Power, which is the first Xbox 360 action adventure game, as well as a standard-setter.
Conflict: Global Terror Review
Like the previous games in the series, Global Terror offers some redeeming value as a shooter, but poor execution on certain aspects, such as the AI, keeps the game from distinguishing itself.
NCAA Football 1st and 10 Review
NCAA 2006 is enjoyable neither to play, to watch, nor to listen to, leaving you but one recourse--to avoid it.
Conflict: Global Terror Review
Like the previous games in the series, Global Terror offers some redeeming value as a shooter, but poor execution on certain aspects, such as the AI, keeps the game from distinguishing itself.
Legend of Kay Review
If you can get past the horrible voice acting and unfortunate frame rate issue, you'll be won over by the solid gameplay and undeniable charm of Legend of Kay.
The Matrix: Path of Neo Review
Path of Neo is a chaotic but pretty good brawler worth the time for those who still think fondly of the Matrix series.
Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves Review
Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves is bigger, longer, and Slyer than the previous two in the franchise.
Tecmo Classic Arcade Review
The games are all emulated quite well, but aside from the couple of big-name titles featured, many of the games included in this suite are simply not worth playing.
The Sims 2 Review
The Sims 2 loses something in translation from PC to consoles. Namely, its addictive, entertaining gameplay.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time Review
Partners in Time might not have as strong of a script as the previous Mario & Luigi, but it's still another charming, high quality RPG worth any DS owner's while.
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie Review
Kong's DS adventure is unambitious, boring, ugly, and buggy.
Ridge Racer 6 Review
If you've played any recent Ridge Racer game, you know exactly what to expect in Ridge Racer 6--a slick, fast-moving racing game with interesting handling characteristics.
Midway Arcade Treasures 3 Review
So many of the games included here relied so heavily on custom arcade hardware that they lose much of their appeal in the translation.
Evil Dead: Regeneration Review
Evil Dead: Regeneration is a lot of fun to play, but it's marred by a host of bugs and an ugly presentation.
Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament Review
Although the presentation isn't the best, and the interface is a little cramped, Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament is definitely one of the better poker games available.
Driver: Vegas Review
Driver: Vegas is vaguely reminiscent of the old-school Grand Theft Auto look and feel, but it fails miserably in almost every aspect of its execution.
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved Review
Geometry Wars is a refreshingly simple, addictive experience that combines appealing graphics and frantic gameplay.
Top Spin Review
The gameplay still pops, and the career mode still has plenty to offer, but Top Spin just isn't as exciting as it once was.
Frogger: Helmet Chaos Review
Frogger: Helmet Chaos is a lively 3D adventure packed with plenty to see and do.
FIFA 06 Review
FIFA 06 adds plenty of new features that help make it the most realistic and accessible (and best) FIFA game to date.
Aeon Flux Review
Aeon Flux is heavy on style and light on coherency, but there's enough enjoyable action to keep things from flying apart at the seams.
Aeon Flux Review
Aeon Flux is heavy on style and light on coherency, but there's enough enjoyable action to keep things from flying apart at the seams.
Need for Speed Most Wanted 5-1-0 Review
Need for Speed Most Wanted 5-1-0 has most of what's needed to make a good PSP racing game, but it lacks the biggest one of all: excitement.
Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team Review
Capcom has taken what was already a decent role-playing game on the GBA and made it better on the DS by taking advantage of the system's unique hardware features.
Shrek SuperSlam Review
Shrek SuperSlam is an easy game to pick up and play, but unless you're a big fan of the license there isn't much to keep you playing.
Voyage: A Journey Beyond Reality Review
Voyage reduces Jules Verne's tale of a visit to the moon in 1865 to a series of clumsily arranged logic puzzles geared to try the patience of adventure-game veterans.
MotoGP 3: Ultimate Racing Technology Review
Unfortunately, the PC version of the game doesn't have the same online support and tight control that made the Xbox version so great, but at $20 it's an acceptable alternative for racing fans.
50 Cent: Bulletproof Review
Whether you're an action fan looking for a good shooter or a G-Unit fan in search of new material, Bulletproof disappoints across the board.
X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse Review
Even if you're only a passing fan of the comic book series, and even if you've already played the first game to death, you'll have a lot of fun with X-Men Legends II.
Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix Review
With a short story mode that serves as a fun, linear introduction to sequential stomping, Mario Mix is suitable for a child, or for an uncoordinated friend.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Review
This console and PC trip through the Wardrobe is a mostly run-of-the-mill action adventure that might hold some measure of appeal to fans of the film, but not so much anyone else.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Review
The storybook charm of Narnia quickly fades away, leaving a fairly average game that doesn't do much to complement the movie.
Vietcong 2 Review
Like its predecessor, Vietcong 2 offers up some challenging gameplay, though it's plagued by technical issues and short campaigns.
Robotron: 2084 Review
Like the other classic arcade games on Xbox Live Arcade, Robotron: 2084 remains true to its arcade roots while including great additions like online scoreboards and multiplayer.
Urban Reign Review
The cheap difficulty and blandness of the story mode make Urban Reign difficult to recommend to all but the most hardcore beat-'em-up fanatics.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Review
With so many better action adventure games available on the Game Boy Advance, this short, simplistic game is especially difficult to recommend, even for fans of the movie.
Battles of Prince of Persia Review
Underneath its modest looks and intimidating, complex battle system is a turn-based strategy game that is surprisingly fun and satisfying.
Trapt Review
If you can overlook its technical deficiencies, you might enjoy Trapt on some level, if only because there's nothing quite like it currently available.
Day of Defeat: Source Review
While a lack of maps cuts into the game's value somewhat, Day of Defeat: Source still offers a satisfying and exciting experience for those who just can't get enough of World War II.
Max Trigger: Insurgence Review
Max Trigger is essentially an action game without a lot of action.
Ivan Ironman Stewart's Off-Road Racing 3D Review
Responsive control and fast action are the most important factors in any racing game, and they're not present here.
Area 51 Review
For shooter fans in serious need of something new to play, Area 51 fits the bill adequately. But for anyone looking for something more than an average shooter, it probably isn't worth it.
Alien Hominid Review
To call this collection of simple Java minigames a port would be a little flattering. It does a nice job with the material as long as it lasts, though.
Stargate SG-1 Review
The action is not the strongest, but the Stargate SG-1 atmosphere will be a big draw for the series' enthusiasts.
Medal of Honor: European Assault Review
The game's wide-open levels actually encourage players to explore, giving the series a fresh feel compared to past games. Unfortunately, a very brief campaign and no online multiplayer means the fun doesn't last long.
Medal of Honor: European Assault Review
The game's wide-open levels actually encourage players to explore, giving the series a fresh feel compared to past games. Unfortunately, a very brief campaign and no online multiplayer means the fun doesn't last long.
WWE Aftershock Review
Even as a mindless button-masher, WWE Aftershock isn't particularly successful.
Batman Begins Review
You'll get everything and more out of watching the movie that you could from playing the game...in the same amount of time.
Samurai Western Review
The fast-paced combat can be entertaining, but its appeal is severely weighed down by the ridiculous amount of repetition in the battles, environments, and enemies and by the brain-dead opponent AI and bizarre design choices.
Diplomacy Review
The latest attempt to translate the famous board game gets mired in some dubious design decisions and bad AI.
EverQuest II: Desert of Flames Review
The balance of the changes is a well-rounded expansion with offerings for players of all levels.
Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd Review
Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd captures the intensity and excitement of paintball, and in the end it's only limited by the confines of the sport itself.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 Review
Tiger 06 finds an excellent blend between compelling gameplay, consistent challenge, and enough reward to always keep you engaged.
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones Review
The Two Thrones provides a satisfying conclusion to the Sands of Time trilogy, with a lot of the same puzzle solving and gorgeous environments you remembered from the previous two games.
Zathura Review
Zathura is a brief and generic action game that does nothing to distinguish itself from the glut of similar--and cheaper--games on the market.
Lego Star Wars Review
Traveller's Tales delivers a short but inviting adventure that makes deft use of both of its almost arbitrary licenses.
Zathura Review
Zathura is a brief and generic action game that does nothing to distinguish itself from the glut of similar--and cheaper--games on the market.
MediEvil: Resurrection Review
The game hasn't aged well, and although it has plenty of personality, the maddening camera control and broken combat mechanics quickly spoil the fun.
FIFA 06 Review
FIFA 06 adds plenty of new features that help make it the most realistic and accessible (and best) FIFA game to date.
Frogger: Helmet Chaos Review
Frogger: Helmet Chaos is a lively 3D adventure packed with plenty to see and do.
The King of Fighters 02/03 Review
What this pair of 2D fighting games may lack in graphical prowess, it more than makes up for in spirit and underlying quality.
Bewitched Review
The most interesting aspect of Bewitched is the trivia, and after a few rounds, you've already seen most of the questions.
Tankracer Review
Everyone knows army tanks are synonymous with wacky fun, and this game is a further example of that truth.
Darts-n-Dolls Review
Darts-n-Dolls is about as much fun as you'd expect repeatedly stopping two sliders in the middle of horizontal and vertical bars to be.
Sonic Gems Collection Review
Despite the inclusion of some fan favorites and rarities, most of the games in Sonic Gems Collection simply aren't good enough to warrant being called "classics."
Wild West Blackjack Review
A year or two ago, this game's presentational frippery might have served to set it apart from the competition. In 2005, it's old hat.
Finny the Fish & the Seven Waters Review
The exasperating moments make it hard to recommend this game for young players, and its otherwise mellow charm isn't quite enough to engage those with more sophisticated tastes.
T-Mac Streetball Review
Unfortunately, this mobile basketball game isn't nearly as spectacular as its namesake, though it does share some of his versatility by offering a good array of gameplay options and a decent level of depth.
Gumball 3000 Review
Gumball 3000 is a breath of fresh exhaust in a download section populated by street- racing also-rans.
Arc the Lad: End of Darkness Review
End of Darkness is mindless and repetitive, and the online multiplayer does nothing to mitigate the weak single-player campaign, lifeless characters, and dull presentation of the game.
3D Field Golf Review
When a golf game is crippled by technological failures, you must get a sense as to the extreme severity of those shortcomings.
Callaway Golf Review
You aren't going to shave strokes off your short game as a result of playing this half-baked title.
Flipnic: Ultimate Pinball Review
Once you're past Flipnic's pretty outer layer, you'll probably find that the game is a little too stripped-down for your tastes.
Sid Meier's Pirates! Review
Sid Meier's Pirates! packs more adventure in just 30 minutes than most games do in their entirety.
War of the Worlds Review
Even if it's not quite perfect, War of the Worlds is a deep, beautiful game.
Capcom Fighting Evolution Review
It's clearly best suited for hardcore fans of Capcom's fighting games, who might enjoy exploring some of the nuances here, but probably won't find much reason to keep coming back.
Snowball Fight II Review
While at one time the game might have been charming in its simplicity, it's now just getting old.
Marshal Wyatt Earp Review
Power-ups, new weapons, different sorts of enemies, time limits, and boss fights are all missing from the equation, and so is the fun.
Crazy Eights Review
It delivers exactly as advertised, with the good old-fashioned card game of Crazy Eights.
Popeye Kart Racing Review
Popeye Kart Racing is not deep or interesting enough to recommend very strongly.
Chess 2.0 Review
The game could have benefited from a little more detail, but for what it is, Chess 2.0 does a pretty good job.
Mouse Puzzle review
There isn't enough content or variety in this game to make it worthwhile.
EyeToy: Play 2 Review
If you are interested in an Eye Toy but don't yet have one, you should skip buying Play and proceed directly to Play 2, as it's almost universally better than the first game.
Fantastic Four Review
Fantastic 4's unique visual style and great use of the original license makes it worth playing, even if the gameplay is a little sloppy.
Absolute Light Up Review
Absolute Light Up is a more inventive puzzler than most, and should be considered by any fan of brain-teasers.
Monopoly Tycoon Review
If only being a real tycoon were this simple.
Word Heaven Review
Word Heaven is one of the better mobile word puzzles you can download.
Madagascar Review
Madagascar is a short but endearing adventure that will be immediately appealing to the adolescent gamers in your household, whether or not they've seen the movie.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 Review
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 fixes the previous edition's most egregious problems, and it's therefore more than just an incremental update.
Madagascar Review
Madagascar is a short but endearing adventure that will be immediately appealing to the adolescent gamers in your household, whether or not they've seen the movie.
SkillJam Arcade Review
SkillJam Arcade is a slick bundle of minigames that points the way toward mobile gaming's future.
Madden NFL 06 Review
For as good as Madden NFL 06 is overall, you can't help but be at least somewhat disappointed by the game as a whole.
The Crocodile Hunter: Operation Rescue Review
Operation Rescue's tight design and silly concept make it an excellent play.
Boggle Review
If you're playing alone, Boggle is a great game on the mobile platform.
Puyo Pop Fever Review
If you can tolerate the forcibly cute presentation, you'll find Puyo Pop Fever to be a solid, addictive puzzle game.
Outlaw Volleyball Remixed Review
The most frustrating thing about Outlaw Volleyball Remixed is that, were it not for the stupid posturing and the fact that it's a clunky port of a 2-year-old title, it's not inherently that bad of a game.
Boiling Point: Road to Hell Review
Boiling Point works off the Grand Theft Auto template to fashion an open-ended hybrid shooter with more diverse missions than the genre has seen in years.
Swerve Basketball Review
Swerve Basketball is a passable game of hoops, but its slow-moving gameplay is too limited for lasting enjoyment.
Blackjack Pro / Video Poker Pro Review
This two-in-one casino game sports a very professional look and many options, which may help you forget about its lack of connectivity and detailed instructions.
Slyder Review
You'll likely enjoy your time with Slyder, unless you've played many other games like it.
Virtual Pool: Tournament Edition Review
This certainly isn't a bad game of pool, but it lives up to few expectations beyond what its meager price tag would suggest.
Capone Casino Review
The developer would have better served gamers by offering fewer games of a higher quality.
Connect Four Challenge Review
Connect Four Challenge proves that a mobile game doesn't need to do something entirely different to be worthwhile.
Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Missions Review
Banjo-Kazooie Missions is a disappointingly simple game with a minimal relationship to the license.
Star Wars: Battle Above Coruscant Review
Battle Above Coruscant isn't revolutionary by any means, but it's a competent vertically scrolling shooter with decent level design and game length.
Madden NFL 06 Review
Madden NFL 06 is a solid football game, but it's also primarily just a roster update to last year's game.
Star Wars Trivia Review
In its current state, Star Wars Trivia just isn't long enough.
Juiced Review
There is nothing exceptionally bad about Juiced's design, nor is there anything laudable about it.
Yahtzee Deluxe Review
Once you play Yahtzee Deluxe, you might not find the need to go back to the original version of the game ever again.
Terminator: I'm Back Review
On the battlefield, one hopes one's comrades-at-arms aren't purely decorative. This average game could have been so much better.
Kirby: Canvas Curse Review
Canvas Curse couldn't really be done on any other platform, yet it doesn't sacrifice its gameplay for the sake of short-lived gimmicks.
Pocket Aquarium Review
Pocket Aquarium probably shouldn't be in Verizon's games section, but it is. Even as a screensaver, though, this would be a poor offering.
Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team Colonel Review
Mega Man Battle Network 5 improves on the previous game, but it also rehashes the same basic design, graphics, and audio that have been with the series since its inception.
King of Fighters: Maximum Impact - Maniax Review
It's mostly suited for card-carrying King of Fighters fans, though the addition of solid online play makes the Xbox version of the game considerably more appealing than the PS2 original.
Necromania: Traps of Darkness Review
Necromania's poorly implemented design, clunky interface, Stone Age graphics, and horrible sound effects combine to form a product that is impossible to recommend to anyone.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire 2005 Review
Without the million-dollar prize offering, there's not a whole lot about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire 2005 that distinguishes it from other, faster trivia games.
Fox Sports Football 06 Review
With only seven-on-seven action and bogus AI, Fox Sports Football 2006 is stuck in 2004.
The X-Files: The Deserter Review
This game's formulation won't disappoint fans of the show, but it may eventually turn them off with its seemingly insuperable sticking points.
Snake Mayhem Review
Even though you probably won't be playing it on a black-and-white Nokia any more, the gameplay in Snake Mayhem is just as good as it ever was, and its remodeled layout fits in just fine.
Fantastic 4 Review
Fantastic 4 suffers from imprecise controls, a lackluster presentation, a few bugs, and other issues that make it difficult to recommend.
Wimbledon 2005 Review
Control remains the final frontier for wireless gaming, and it's a tough issue for developers to contend with. At its core, Wimbledon 2005 is a decent tennis game that doesn't completely triumph over the limitations of its platform.
AMF Xtreme Bowling for Prizes Review
AMF Xtreme Bowling for Prizes is a bowling game that does everything well, except for the bowling aspect, which makes going after the prizes a tedious endeavor.
Need for Speed Underground 2 Review
There's enough variety here to keep you busy; it delivers a strong sense of speed; and the control, while not perfect, is good enough to keep you coming back.
Operation Review
You're better off leaving your pleasant memories of Operation alone, rather than tainting them by playing this game.
Stolen review
Stolen feels like a budget title being sold at full price, and with so many good stealth games already available, there's simply no reason to play this one.
MVP Baseball Review
MVP Baseball for the PSP is both rough around the edges and missing some of the features that made the console versions so appealing. But it's still tops in terms of authentic gameplay.
Pinball Hall of Fame Review
Pinball Hall of Fame looks good, controls well, and should be a no-brainer as an addition to your library if you're a fan of simulated pinball.
Strike Force Bowling Review
Strike Force Bowling attempts to combine zany locales with tried-and-true bowling mechanics, but the game lacks substance and ultimately won't please bowling fans, be they hardcore or casual.
Still Life Review
Its slavish dedication to convention will scratch the methodical, cerebral itch all diehard adventure game fans have.
Special Forces: Nemesis Strike Review
It's a trite and aggressively boring version of what a million other third-person action games have done. And even for its budget price, it's a pretty lousy value.
Special Forces: Nemesis Strike Review
It's a trite and aggressively boring version of what a million other third-person action games have done. And even for its budget price, it's a pretty lousy value.
Supreme Ruler 2010 Review
Complexity and accessibility are rarely so well-balanced in a strategy game.
Popeye: Rush for Spinach Review
Popeye: Rush for Spinach is an unsuccessful attempt to combine racing and platforming together into a single game.
Still Life Review
Its slavish dedication to convention will scratch the methodical, cerebral itch all diehard adventure game fans have.
Robotron: 2084 Review
Robotron: 2084 is a sloppy, incomplete port that's not worth your mobile dollar.
Fantastic 4 Review
Fantastic 4 suffers from imprecise controls, a lackluster presentation, a few bugs, and other issues that make it difficult to recommend.
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Glacier Review
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Glacier is a typical platformer with some inventive obstacles.
Lord of the Rings Trilogy Review
This game's royal production values stand out in a crowded field, as does its lengthy, challenging campaign.
Poker Superstars Review
It's too bad that Poker Superstars' solid gameplay is wrapped in such a shallow, ugly package.
Ms. Pac-Man Review
The only major detriment of Ms. Pac-Man on mobile is that you can, for only a little more money, play Ms. Pac-Man for Prizes--the same game with additional benefits.
Bomberman Review
If you're a Bomberman fan, you already know exactly what to expect, but this is also a good game for anyone yet to be acquainted with Hudson's long-running series.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike Review
Summit Strike is every bit as enjoyable as its predecessor, with a varied campaign, wide-open levels, and a wealth of multiplayer options and modes.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Review
This factory comes off more like a real industrial complex than the fantastic playground of a fop who makes candy with magical midgets.
Alexander Review
Alexander had the potential to be a quality strategy title, but poor execution makes the game not so great.
Texas Hold 'Em Poker Review
Texas Hold 'Em for GBA is a no-frills, single-player rendition of today's most popular poker game.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour Review
Tiger Woods takes good advantage of the capabilities of the DS, and it's easily the most technically accomplished handheld golf game to date.
Asphalt: Urban GT Review
Asphalt's production is a little uneven in spots, but it gets enough of it right that, in the end, the experience is pretty enjoyable.
The Incredibles 3D Review
The Incredibles 3D may be an overblown minigame, but it's a minigame with style.
Xevious Review
The mobile Xevious is pretty much a pixel-perfect port of the arcade version.
Pariah Review
The game simply can't make the act of firing a weapon interesting, and this plagues every mode in it.
Super Bomberman Review
Super Bomberman is a straightlaced port, with plenty of levels to keep you busy. If you're a fan of Bomberman titles, or action puzzle games at large, this is a decent offering.
The Sims 2 University Review
The new college life experience is something of a letdown, but the new items and strategic options more than make up for it.
Dragon Ball Z: Sagas Review
Dragon Ball Z: Sagas is a short, ugly, slightly buggy, and brain-dead beat-'em-up.
Dynasty Warriors 5 Review
You're probably better off waiting until Koei announces the inevitable first Dynasty Warriors 5 spin-off.
MLB 2006 Review
MLB 2006 looks sharp, sounds great, and literally overwhelms the player with all its various control schemes and play modes.
Kentucky Derby Championship Racing Review
All told, Kentucky Derby Championship Racing's great core gameplay bolsters a lackluster presentation. Given the rarity of this type of game on mobile, horse-racing fans should definitely give Kentucky Derby a look.
Rise of the Kasai Review
Rise of the Kasai introduces interesting concepts, but it fails to deliver on them in an engaging way.
Spikeout: Battle Street Review
This arcade-style brawler actually sounds pretty wicked on paper, but unfortunately, the game itself is lousy.
Mario Party Advance Review
Mario Party Advance isn't much of a party when multiple players are involved.
NBA All-Star 3-Point Shootout Review
NBA All-Star 3-Point Shootout is the most polished and playable example of a generally boring type of game.
Red Ninja: End of Honor Review
Red Ninja just never manages to pull itself from action game mediocrity.
Shining Tears Review
Shining Tears is a decent hack-and-slash fun-fest with many available upgrades, but not that much combat meat to it.
Worms 3D Review
Despite its slightly aged appearance, the accessible strategy and comical violence retain most of their appeal.
S.W.A.T. the Movie: 3D Game Review
S.W.A.T.'s slow, monotonous action--characterized by numerous small firefights--never really provides the frenetic pacing a whack-a-mole game should.
Worldwide Soccer Manager 2005 Review
WSM 2005 is pretty much the perfect sports management game.
Donkey Kong Country 2 Review
DKC2 is a diverse platform game that looks and sounds superb and has an impressive list of bonus features, but it's also extremely difficult.
Blitzkrieg: Rolling Thunder Review
With a few glaring exceptions, the new missions tend to be exciting and challenging, taking advantage of what the Blitzkrieg series has always done well: intense real-time WWII combat.
Tron 2.0: Killer App Review
The story mode is overly simplistic and tedious, but the bonus games are actually quite fun and engaging.
Metal Slug Advance Review
Metal Slug's first foray onto the GBA is a resounding success.
Gundam Battle Assault 3 featuring Gundam Seed Review
Only the most diehard of Gundam fans will find anything at all to like about this game.
Spyro: A Hero's Tail Review
Spyro's newly expanded roster doesn't manage to save A Hero's Tail from monotony.
NCAA March Madness 2005 Review
While March Madness 2005 borrows some new features from NCAA Football 2005 and includes a revamped play-calling system that is actually fun to use, a broken dynasty mode and choppy online play mar an otherwise good basketball game.
ESPN College Hoops 2K5 Review
If you're a fan of college basketball, the attractive presentation, smooth online play, and deep legacy mode are all good reasons to check out ESPN College Hoops 2K5.
The King of Fighters Extreme Review
The King of Fighters Extreme has all the makings of a great portable fighting game. Unfortunately, a consistently sluggish frame rate seriously hurts the experience.
Tork: Prehistoric Punk Review
Between Tork's slightly unfinished feel and the rising standard for 20-dollar games, Tork really doesn't have a whole lot going in its favor.
Return to Mysterious Island Review
Aside from a few overly convoluted puzzles and some other flaws common to traditional adventure games, puzzle-solving doesn't get much more captivating than this.
Army Men: RTS Review
With strategy being a scarce commodity on the GameCube, it's hard to argue with the game's bargain-basement price tag.
Playboy: The Mansion Review
This Sims-style strategy game comes off as cold and mechanical, capturing none of the devil-may-care attitude you'd expect and casting Hef's idyllic lifestyle as a hollow grind.
Playboy: The Mansion Review
This Sims-style strategy game comes off as cold and mechanical, capturing none of the devil-may-care attitude you'd expect and casting Hef's idyllic lifestyle as a hollow grind.
World Championship Poker Review
World Championship Poker is ultimately a decent effort, but only because of its online play.
Midtown Madness 3 Review
Even if the gameplay is a blast, Midnight Madness 3 is altogether too short to keep less casual driving game fans on the road for long.
World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 International Review
World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 International is KCET's best soccer game to date, which basically makes it the best soccer game ever made.
Fruit Factory Review
Fruit Factory is a wholly uninspired puzzler that makes no attempt to either expand on the sokoban mold or deliver a solid game within the conventions of the genre.
Banjo Pilot Review
Despite the game's utter lack of originality, Banjo Pilot can often be good old-fashioned simplistic fun in the vein of some of the great kart racing classics.
The Incredibles Review
The Incredibles is worth playing if you think you'd enjoy a simple beat-'em-up starring your new favorite superhero family.
Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone Review
Those who appreciate this brand of brute-force, hack-and-slash gameplay should find in Demon Stone a great-looking and enjoyable, if somewhat familiar, experience.
Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams Review
The Staff of Dreams is definitely a more well-conceived game than The Power of Juju, but the whole experience is muddled by an inconsistent difficulty and slapdash level designs.
Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament Review
Big-time Yu Yu Hakusho fans will definitely find Dark Tournament to be a much more engaging experience than those just looking for a good 3D fighting game.
Second Sight Review
Despite a few rough patches, Second Sight ought to be an entertaining and unique ride for just about any action fan.
Headhunter: Redemption Review
Headhunter: Redemption just isn't a very interesting game, from any angle.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 Review
Tiger Woods 2005 seems dead set on making new players comfortable--but this inadvertently sucks out a lot of the challenge.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 Review
Tiger Woods 2005 seems dead set on making new players comfortable--but this inadvertently sucks out a lot of the challenge.
Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed Review
As a party game, Pumped & Primed is nice insomuch that it should be easy for even your nongamer friends to pick up. However, its appeal is limited.
Silent Hill 4: The Room Review
The game retains the dark, disturbing soul that is the unsettling center of the Silent Hill experience.
Vietcong: Purple Haze Review
Thoroughly retooled by a new developer, Purple Haze generally makes a mess of what used to be a good game.
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Director's Cut Review
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Director's Cut is an absolutely great update to what was already a wonderfully spooky game.
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme Review
DDR Extreme goes beyond the standard update and delivers new styles of gameplay that freshen up the experience without sacrificing the things that made the games popular in the first place.
TOCA Race Driver 2: The Ultimate Racing Simulator Review
If you're a racing fan with a PS2 and $30 burning a hole in your pocket, TOCA Race Driver 2 is a great way to go.
Anarchy Online: Alien Invasion Review
Alien Invasion adds what seems like a lot of intriguing new content, but in practice, it's mostly for advanced players.
F-Zero GP Legend Review
Time has been kind to this old gameplay standard, and it is as much fun to play today as it ever was.
Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown Review
Defender of the Crown benefits from the great concept of its predecessors, but it is unable to deliver an interface worthy of its pedigree.
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Review
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition is worth checking out for any PC player on the lookout for a good platformer.
Robotech: Invasion Review
Robotech: Invasion's single-player campaign still suffers from the same bland gameplay and mission design that plagued its predecessor.
Grand Theft Auto Advance Review
There's some nostalgic gameplay here, but by and large GTA Advance just isn't much fun.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 Review
Though Ghost Recon purists may find a lot to complain about in the sequel's entertaining but shallow single-player campaign, they should ultimately be mollified by the terrific multiplayer game.
Missing: Since January Review
If you fancy yourself a skilled Internet sleuth, Missing may prove to be an engrossing and unique experience.
Soldiers: Heroes of World War II Review
Soldiers: Heroes of World War II is a very good game that should appeal most to hardcore strategy fans, due to its intricate, challenging gameplay and great presentation.
The Suffering Review
The Suffering might be a little too straightforward in spots, but it does make for a solid action game.
Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage Review
The levels and minigames in Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rage are fun to come back to even after you've seen the Crash-Spyro crossover all the way to the end.
The Sims Bustin' Out Review
The Sims Bustin' Out is a laid-back game that carries some inherent appeal, despite the presentation's rough edges.
Shadow Ops: Red Mercury Review
The campaign missions can be pretty intense at times, but the underlying action itself, especially in multiplayer mode, lacks the sort of visceral punch that shooters ought to have.
Army Men: Sarge's War Review
After playing through Army Men: Sarge's War, it's likely that you'll find yourself wondering why anyone bothered to salvage the Army Men license at all.
FlipIt! Review
If you're on the hunt for a good, difficult puzzle game that will keep you busy, FlipIt!'s 50 levels will give you a lot to think about.
Madden NFL 2005 Review
Madden NFL 2005 is a complete overhaul, with better AI, customizable skill settings, and a great degree of control over play calling.
Bush vs. Kerry Boxing Review
Bush vs. Kerry Boxing is a clever repurposing of Sorrent's existing boxing game, providing a rare example of a current events-based game that's actually fun to play.
Gauntlet Review
Gauntlet is a great action game that runs better than most similar games on the mobile platform.
NHL Eastside Hockey Manager Review
This fantastically addictive management simulation covers the entire world of hockey.
Chessmaster 10th Edition Review
If you're looking for a good chess program that's packed with a plethora of features and all the bells and whistles, you'll be very happy with Chessmaster 10th Edition.
Terminator 3: The Redemption Review
If you still have any interest in all things Terminator, or if you are even just a fan of good old-fashioned shooters, T3: The Redemption is certainly worth a weekend rental.
Terminator 3: The Redemption Review
If you still have any interest in all things Terminator, or if you are even just a fan of good old-fashioned shooters, T3: The Redemption is certainly worth a weekend rental.
Street Racing Syndicate Review
SRS tries to deliver an authentic street racing experience, but the racing itself tends to be rather unexciting.
Silent Hill 4: The Room Review
The Room retains the dark, disturbing soul that is the unsettling center of the Silent Hill experience.
Venus Williams Tennis Review
Venus Williams Tennis isn't a very good game of tennis.
Full Spectrum Warrior Review
Full Spectrum Warrior is very good overall, and deserves credit for being something other than just another military-themed shooter or strategy game.
Conflict: Vietnam Review
A solidly average game whose few original ideas are compromised by screwy controls, some pacing problems, and a punishing save-game system.
Classic NES Series: Metroid Review
It's easy to see how certain aspects of Metroid's design made it a classic, but 18 years later, the overall package just doesn't measure up to today's action adventure standards.
Baseball Mogul 2005 Review
Baseball Mogul 2005 has all but ignored the recent evolution of text-based sports management simulations.
Van Helsing Review
Van Helsing, the game, can make for a pretty entertaining time if you don't go in expecting too much and just want a few hours of gothic-styled action.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 Review
This particular version of Rainbow Six 3 is really only suitable for those who only have access to a GameCube and want a military-themed shooter.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 Review
Tiger fans should definitely stick with last year's game, rather than upgrade to this year's model.
Freestyle Street Soccer Review
While games like EA's Street series and NBA Ballers have proven that street sports can be done right in video games, Freestyle Street Soccer proves that you can also do them very, very wrong.
QBz for Prizes Review
QBz for Prizes is a tidy, simple game that's been very nicely retrofitted for mobile consumption and competition.
Vietnam War: Ho Chi Minh Trail Review
Ho Chi Minh Trails makes up for its total lack of depth with the visceral thrill of raw, senseless destruction.
Transformers Review
Transformers is an especially easy sell to diehard fans of the franchise, but it's equally recommendable to fans of action games in general, too.
Echelon: Wind Warriors Review
Echelon: Wind Warriors isn't a bad game, so much as a mediocre and totally unambitious one.
CT Special Forces 2 Review
This solid, arcade-inspired shoot-'em-up improves upon its predecessor in every way.
Galactic Wrestling: Featuring Ultimate Muscle Review
On its own merits, Galactic Wrestling is a solid grappler. But anyone hoping for a step forward from the first Ultimate Muscle game is going to be a bit disappointed.
Dexter's Laboratory Security Alert! Review
Dexter's Laboratory is a fun game, if you can look past its dull early levels and a few flaws.
Diamond Mind Baseball 9 Review
Tom Trippett's long-running series enters its ninth edition as the "King of Baseball Replay Simulations."
MLB SlugFest: Loaded Review
If you're looking for a superfun, easy-to-understand baseball game this year, SlugFest: Loaded is definitely your best bet.

Crusader Kings Review
While casual gamers will feel overwhelmed, anyone with a love of history will appreciate Crusader Kings' rigorous attention to detail and epic scope.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong Review
Both on its own and as a tribute to Mario's legacy, Mario vs. Donkey Kong does a great job.
3D Slam Ping-Pong Review
While 3D Slam Ping-Pong's concept is simple, the game's modes and fast pace make a winning combination.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 Review
It doesn't take advantage of everything the Zodiac has to offer, but it's certainly a solid start for the franchise.
Sonic Advance 3 Review
Sonic Advance 3 is a great, fast-paced platform game, and the tag-team play mechanic really enhances the overall experience.
Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy Review
Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy is better suited for novice players who mainly want to see how the Crash-Spyro crossover turns out.
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Review
If you're on the lookout for a solid platformer for a weekend rental, then Pitfall: The Lost Expedition is right up your alley.
Bionicle Review
All the wonder of the Bionicle universe has been bled dry by vapid design and an atrocious camera system.
Bionicle Review
All the wonder of the Bionicle universe has been bled dry by a vapid design and an atrocious camera system.
FirePower for Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 Review
FirePower is what Combat Flight Simulator 3 should have been in the first place, and it is a must-have expansion for current or potential owners of that sim.
Mission: Impossible: Operation Surma Review
Operation Surma doesn't look good, and the gameplay is often awkward and frustrating.
Samurai Jack: The Shadow of Aku Review
The only remarkable thing about Samurai Jack is how utterly unremarkable it is, and that's certainly not a good reason to play this game.
A Quiet Weekend in Capri Review
Capri certainly seems to be an enchanting island. It's too bad you don't get an adventure to match it.
Battle Engine Aquila Review
Battle Engine Aquila is an inadequate addition to the mission-based sci-fi sim genre.
James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing Review
Everything or Nothing is a brief yet satisfying action game that faithfully captures the look and feel of a typical James Bond movie.
Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004 Review
Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004, is pure, uncompromised card battling, and it's probably one of the best Yu-Gi-Oh! games to come out on any platform.
Beyond the Law: The Third Wave Review
There's really no reason anyone should play Beyond the Law: The Third Wave.
Corvette Review
When you get right down to it, Corvette is a difficult title to recommend to even the most devout Corvette enthusiasts.
Future Tactics: The Uprising Review
It's an intriguing experiment that ultimately suffers from shallow, simplistic gameplay and an uninvolving story mode rife with bland characters.
ESPN Major League Baseball Review
When you get right down to it, the ESPN-flavored look is what really sets ESPN Major League Baseball apart from other baseball games.
King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood Review
King of Fighters EX2 sets a new standard for one-on-one fighting games on the GBA.
Hot Wheels World Race Review
World Race sticks pretty close to the basic arcade racing formula the series has used for years, which works both in the game's favor and against it.
Red Faction Review
Featuring clunky controls, choppy animation, and a subpar frame rate, this reworking of a great game isn't one that you'd want to have with you on a desert island.
Pax Romana Review
There's little reward for all the indirect management you have to deal with, and the terrible interface sabotages the whole affair.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX Review
Romance IX is more of what you already love--that is, assuming you loved it to begin with.
LifeLine Review
LifeLine represents an ambitious undertaking, but the experience is undermined by unreliable technology and some poor game design.
Classic NES Series: The Legend of Zelda Review
Though the game is old and has been followed up by plenty of other, deeper games in the series, The Legend of Zelda still holds up quite well.
Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu Review
It's ultimately a pretty basic beat-'em-up, but the strong production values and a solid combat system make for a gratifying experience.
Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue Review
If what you seek is solely some quality Frogger gameplay, and you're willing to forgive the facile story and run-of-the-mill graphics, Frogger's Adventures is certainly worth a look.
Chaos Legion Review
Chaos Legion is essentially Devil May Cry with stripped-down combat mechanics, but to suggest that this game is comparable to Devil May Cry would be giving it too much credit.
Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue Review
If what you seek is solely some quality Frogger gameplay, and you're willing to forgive the facile story and run-of-the-mill graphics, Frogger's Adventures is certainly worth a look.
Age of Mythology: The Titans Review
The Titans is recommendable to any fan of Age of Mythology, particularly those who liked the idea of the game but maybe had trouble getting over the learning curve.
Jet Grind Radio Review
If you’re looking for a legal way to deface property with graffiti, and not necessarily the most complex skating game around, then Jet Grind Radio is right up your alley.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds Review
Chaos Bleeds is an excellent, well-put-together action adventure game that most fans of the genre should be able to enjoy and any Buffy fan will love.
Rugby 2004 Review
Rugby 2004 is by no means authoritative, and it certainly won't convince newbies that the sport makes a worthy computer game.
Warlords IV: Heroes of Etheria Review
Warlords IV is a highly streamlined sequel that shifts the series' focus away from management and diplomacy to surprisingly fast-paced combat.
Stuntman Review
Stuntman requires effort to finish, but it does a nice job of putting you behind the wheel in a Hollywood movie.
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure Review
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is "Tony Hawk Light"--a good game for young players or Disney fans who also enjoy skateboarding games.
NHL Hitz Pro Review
Above all else, NHL Hitz Pro is just a lot of fun.
Shining Soul Review
Shining Soul is a monotonous hack-and-slash action RPG that contributes little to either the Shining series or to dungeon crawlers in general.
Combat Mission: Afrika Korps Review
Afrika Korps is the third installment of the acclaimed Combat Mission series, and like its predecessors, it represents the absolute state-of-the-art in tactical wargames.
Out of the Park Baseball 6 Review
Out of the Park Baseball 6 may look a lot like its predecessors, but many new features give the game an unmatched feeling of authenticity.
I-Ninja Review
I-Ninja is a short but well-crafted third-person action game with a surprising variety of gameplay.
MVP Baseball 2004 Review
Don't think too much about statistics, and you'll be rewarded with enjoyable hardball that often bears a strong resemblance to the national pastime.
Total Pro Basketball Review
Total Pro Basketball boasts a solid interface and a wide breadth of duties to keep general managers busy from opening tip-off to summertime free agency.
Tenchu: Return From Darkness Review
If you've never played the PS2 version and have a hankering for some more ninja action, Tenchu: Return From Darkness will do you right.
Star Trek: Shattered Universe Review
Perhaps if it existed in an alternate universe, Star Trek: Shattered Universe might be a game worth playing. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne Review
It's a stunning shooter that's got a bit too much plot and is over too soon, though it's still incredibly intense and, by all means, worth experiencing.
The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal Review
When combined with the original game, Morrowind Tribunal's complementary features make an excellent role-playing game even better.
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Review
The game's shallow goal design keeps it from achieving the same level of addictiveness as games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and Aggressive Inline.
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Review
This game can be recommended only to the most die-hard action sports fans, who won't mind the game's almost clinical approach to its level, goal, and gameplay design.
Beach Spikers Review
Beach Spikers is enjoyable enough to warrant the attention of any player looking for some fun, fast-paced arcade-style action.
Icewind Dale II Review
Like its predecessor, Icewind Dale II is simply a great role-playing game.
MoonBase Commander Review
It's one of the most accessible and uniquely addictive strategy games this year.

NFL Blitz 2003 Review
NFL Blitz 2003 works out many of the kinks found in last year's game and gets the series back on track.
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Review
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 for the Game Boy Advance improves upon the previous release in every conceivable way.
Michael Schumacher Racing World Kart 2002 Review
It's ultimately too simplistic, too short, and far too prone to bumper-car madness and pinball-like ricochets.
Smuggler's Run: Warzones Review
It's a great introduction for first-time smugglers, but those already familiar with the series won't find much new here.
Capcom Vs. SNK Pro: Millennium Fight 2000 Review
It's a surprisingly competent port. Unfortunately, it's a port of a game that most fans consider to be completely obsolete.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a terrific action game that has a great mix of multiple gameplay types and a great story.
NFL GameDay 2003 Review
NFL GameDay 2003 doesn't have any significant problems, but there just isn't anything about the game that makes it worth your while.
Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest Expansion Review
The Art of Conquest doesn't add enough to make much of a difference.
The Thing Review
Even if they haven't seen the movie, after playing through this rather lengthy and involving game, survival horror fans will more than likely find that The Thing is one of the best such games for the PS2.
Port Royale Review
Once you get past Port Royale's steep learning curve, you may find yourself enthralled by the game's promise of profiteering and pirating on the high seas.
Totaled! Review
Totaled! falls short on all fronts, but the exceptionally bad physics and gameplay rob the game of any hope of being something worth your time.
Airborne Assault: Red Devils over Arnhem Review
This is a must-have for anyone who wants to see how the genre can move beyond the conventions of turn-based, chit-based wargaming.
Austerlitz: Napoleon's Greatest Victory Review
As far as Napoleonic warfare goes, you'd be hard pressed to find a game as visceral and polished as Austerlitz: Napoleon's Greatest Victory.
Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing Review
The game plays so poorly that you'll never feel compelled to actually trudge through and see what it has to offer.
Tom and Jerry: War of the Whiskers Review
Even though it doesn't stack up to other fighting games in terms of depth or polish, Tom and Jerry: War of the Whiskers is worthy of some respect.
Ultimate Fighting Championship: Throwdown Review
If you've been holding out on buying the game until it came to the GameCube, then this rendition of Throwdown should serve you just fine.
NFL Fever 2003 Review
Fans of last year's game won't find much more than a roster update in NFL Fever 2003, while new players will find in it a fairly entertaining, though unrealistic, game of football.
Resident Evil Gaiden Review
Resident Evil Gaiden doesn't inspire the same level of interest that the other games in the franchise do.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII Review
Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII is a good strategy game, but it's not for everyone.
Earth & Beyond Review
Earth & Beyond takes the standard high-fantasy formula of online role-playing games and replaces the castles and swords with space stations and beam weapons.
Gladiators of Rome Review
If you can get past its problems, you may find Gladiators of Rome to be a quirky strategy game that's interesting to play--at least for a little while.
U.S. Special Forces: Team Factor Review
Team Factor couldn't have been released at a worse time.
Project: Nomads Review
Though Project Nomads draws inspiration from some truly unique games, the game itself ends up being a fairly generic shooter.

If you must play tennis on your PC, this is the way you should play.
Real War: Rogue States Review
Although Rogue States does fix several of Real War's problems, the original game's biggest problems remain.

Madden NFL 2003 Review
There's a lot to like about Madden 2003.
F1 2002 Review
F1 2002's improvements on last year's game are marginal at best, and for some, that won't be enough to justify its $50 price tag.
The Sum of All Fears Review
While it's clear that The Sum of All Fears was rushed for the movie's release, it's a surprisingly solid game.
Lethal Skies Elite Pilot: Team SW Review
Sammy's Lethal Skies Elite Pilot: Team SW has survived localization and emerges as an altogether impressive combat flight sim.

Tetris Worlds Review
Tetris Worlds offers several solid interpretations of the classic Russian mindbender, though there's little here that hasn't been seen before.
Strategic Command: European Theater Review
It's a satisfying re-creation of the struggle that defined the 20th century. But because it lacks a challenging AI, it eventually falls apart as anything other than a multiplayer game.
PureSim Baseball Review
There's too much to like here to let one problem, however glaring, be a deterrent to enjoying PureSim Baseball.
Tsunami 2265 Review
Your best bet is to not play Tsunami 2265 at all.

The Pinball of the Dead Review
You don't have to know or appreciate the source material to really enjoy The Pinball of the Dead.
NCAA Football 2003 Review
To put it simply, EA Sports' NCAA Football 2003 is a college football fan's dream.

EA Sports' NCAA Football 2003 captures and executes all the elements of the college football experience incredibly well.
All-Star Baseball 2003 Review
Anyone who wants a dose of hardball on the go or a solid sports game to play with friends would do well to pick this one up.

While Lilo & Stitch was clearly designed as one for the kiddies, they likely will not be able to surmount its technical limitations.

The real Bruce Lee was never this sloppy.
C-12: Final Resistance Review
It's a strictly average action game that may interest the few players who haven't graduated to a newer system.

Aggressive Inline Review
Fans of the Tony Hawk or Dave Mirra games will surely find a lot to like in Aggressive Inline.
WrestleMania X8 Review
If you're looking for a fun wrestling game for the GameCube, then you'll definitely want to check out WrestleMania X8.
Gore: Ultimate Soldier Review
Gore is a decent shooter, but there isn't anything here that hasn't been done already--and better--in a game you probably already own.
Dropship: United Peace Force Review
It's an altogether unique flight combat game, and one that can also be quite impressive from a technological standpoint.
Frogger Advance: The Great Quest Review
This 2D side-scrolling platformer is clearly aimed at a young audience.
Dinotopia: The Timestone Pirates Review
If you've read and enjoyed the novels that the game is based on, or you're looking for a game for a younger gamer, Dinotopia can be a worthy choice.
Splashdown Review
Xbox owners looking for a racing game that plays and looks great would do well to pick up Splashdown.
The Watchmaker Review
Fans of traditional adventure games will enjoy the puzzles and will likely be able to bear with the awful voice acting and the underdeveloped story.
Sky Gunner Review
It plays really well a lot of the time, and the game itself is action-packed and interesting enough to warrant looking past its problems.
Big Biz Tycoon Review
In trying to walk the line between being a virtual-life game and a business management game, Big Biz Tycoon limits itself to mediocrity.
Outlaw Golf Review
Outlaw Golf is an odd game because it has a theme that seems to appeal to a certain audience, yet the gameplay isn't really for that crowd.
Space Race Ps2 Review
Space Race probably wasn't the best game to port to the PS2 untouched, though Looney Tunes fans ought to give it a look.
Power Play Sports Trivia PsX Review
Power Play Sports Trivia is about as no-frills as a PlayStation game can get these days.
Extreme Paintbrawl 4 Review
The best thing you can say about its poor graphics and sound is that they weren't wasted on an otherwise great game.
Test Drive Xbox Review
It's fun for a while, but it's too arcadelike for its own good, and it really only lends itself to short amounts of time spent playing.
Lost Kingdoms Review
It's quite short and doesn't look or sound particularly good. You can tell that most of the effort went into the combat system.
MX Superfly Review
If you missed out on MX 2002, Superfly is a perfect place to start.
MX Superfly Review
It's the GameCube's first motocross game, and it's a pretty solid first attempt at the sport on Nintendo's console.
F1 2002 Review
This version of F1 is not just the best F1 to date, but it is also the finest computerized representation of Formula 1 racing from any source.
Stitch: Experiment 626 Review
Stitch: Experiment 626 provides a disjointed gameplay experience, and as such it can't be recommended to anyone who isn't very into the recently released Disney movie.
Baseball Mogul 2003 Review
What was once groundbreaking is now mundane, since this new sports management game remains largely unchanged from what was so refreshing five years ago.
RedCard 2003 Review
Xbox soccer fans who can't get behind the sim-style offerings from Konami and EA should get a kick out of this one.
Virtua Striker 2002 GameCube Review

This port has a host of new problems that render the game virtually unplayable.
Elite Forces: Navy SEALs Review
Previous budget-priced shooters didn't set our expectations for Navy SEALs very high, but the game undercuts even those standards.

Younger players are more likely to enjoy the simplistic and predictable gameplay that Pryzm offers.

Pac-Man All-Stars simply isn't very fun.
Jazz and Faust Review
Considering its dull, clumsy gameplay and bad writing, Jazz and Faust is a depressing reminder of why so many gamers have left adventure games behind.
Freekstyle Review
While it's not the motocross equivalent of SSX, EA Sports Big's first excursion on dirt is worth a look for those who enjoy a stiff challenge.
WTA Tour Tennis Review
The solid gameplay mechanics and simple controls allow it to appeal to casual players, as well as the devout followers of the women's pro tour.
Fire Blade Review
Fire Blade is a surprisingly good game that will more than satisfy helicopter combat fans.
Le Mans 24 Hours Review
Le Mans 24 Hours is just not good enough compared to today's top-level computer racers.
NASCAR Heat 2002 Review
The dated graphics and the surprisingly inept gameplay make for a bad combination that dooms the game to mediocrity.
Legion: Legend of Excalibur Review
Legion has many sound concepts, but just about everything falls apart in the execution, resulting in a game that runs the gamut from frustrating to just plain terrible.
Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction Review
Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction can best be described as a poor version of Twisted Metal: Black.
Shifters Review
Shifters was clearly not given enough time in development, and it isn't fun to play as a result.
Punch King Review
Punch King tries its best to be the next Punch-Out!!, but it falls short of the mark.
RedCard 2003 Review
It goes into slightly more realistic territory without sacrificing the fun, easy-to-learn gameplay that most of Midway's sports games possess.
Breath of Fire II Review
The lengthy quest offers a meaty challenge for RPG fans to get sucked into and a surprise or two to satisfy those who look for them.
Tetris Worlds Review
Tetris Worlds introduces one particular change to the gameplay that renders the classic game all but unplayable.
Spider-Man: The Movie Review
Despite the rough edges, however, it is the Spider-Man character itself that makes Spider-Man: The Movie fun to play.
Blender Bros. Review
If you enjoy good 2D platform games, you can't go wrong with this one.
Dance Dance Revolution Konamix Review
Though it's as technically sound as the original DDR, Konamix is much harder to recommend, partly because it's more of the same, and partly because of the subpar music selection.
Ice Age Review
Ice Age is a straightforward platform game with a host of problems that ultimately make it a completely joyless experience.
BCT Commander Review
BCT Commander in many ways delivers exactly what it claims to--it's a rigorous, realistic simulation of what it's like to command a brigade of combined-arms troops in modern warfare.
Combat Medic: Special Ops Review
Combat Medic probably wasn't the best idea for a game.
Britney's Dance Beat Review
Britney's Dance Beat can actually provide an enjoyable if short-lived experience, and it serves as a good introduction for the uninitiated to the world of rhythm games.
Hired Team: Trial Gold Review
Hired Team: Trial Gold has arrived at about the worst possible time.
Jedi Starfighter Review
While it's not the prettiest Xbox game out there, let alone the best-looking Star Wars game, it does offer good control and entertaining gameplay.
Top Angler Review
At best, Top Angler is a pretty accurate simulation of what it's like to spend an entire day out on the lake and never have a single bite.
Ski Park Manager Review
What is otherwise an enjoyable and challenging game is hidden beneath an unintuitive interface, questionable design decisions, compatibility issues, and an overall lack of polish.
R/C Helicopter Indoor Flight Simulation Review
It's something to goof around with when you have 10 minutes to kill, but if you want any more than that, you should look elsewhere.
Warbirds III Review
There's no denying that Warbirds is at once the most difficult, expensive, and ultimately gratifying online flight sim currently available.
Aggressive Inline Review
It takes the gameplay and design concepts that have worked well in past alternative sports games and gives them enough of a face-lift to make the game feel new.
Atari Revival review
These remakes don't look that great or play that well, but at least you get all three of them for $20.
MotoGP Review
THQ's MotoGP for the Xbox is the latest game that attempts to re-create the sport of Moto Grand Prix motorcycle racing, and for the most part, it does a very good job of doing so.
Headhunter Review
Its graphics fall short of the best the console has to offer, but its blend of action, stealth, and driving manages to keep things interesting throughout.
Smashing Drive Review
Smashing Drive has virtually no lasting value whatsoever and just isn't much fun to play even as long as it lasts.
2002 FIFA World Cup Review
FIFA 2002 is still the better soccer game for the PlayStation--unless you're a World Cup fanatic.
All-Star Baseball 2003 Review

WWII: Desert Rats is a good example of a budget game done right.
Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza Review
Even with its cheap $30 price tag, only the most die-hard Die Hard fans should pick up this game.
Factory Mogul Review
It has some charm, and the budget price is suited to the amount of fun it provides.
Spider-Man: The Movie Review
Spider-Man: The Movie executes the core elements of the Spider-Man experience well and, in particular, features some great outdoor levels.
K-1 World Grand Prix 2001 Review
IMPORT: Fans of the sport who are savvy in the ways of importing may want to think about importing what is by far the best iteration of the K-1 sport.
Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror Review
Looked at as a free mod, Tactical Ops is an achievement its developers can be proud of, but taken as a retail game, it still needs more work.
Season Ticket Baseball 2003 Review
There is no better sports management sim available on this side of the Atlantic.
TransWorld Surf Review
It's unfortunate that PlayStation 2 owners have been shortchanged on this port of TransWorld Surf.
Ultimate Ride Coaster Deluxe Review
Coaster Deluxe is essentially just a slightly better version of the original Ultimate Ride.
Burnout Review
There's enough meat on Burnout's bones to provide an engaging, albeit unoriginal, take on arcade racing.
Burnout Review
Burnout is a run-of-the-mill arcade driving game that features spectacular crashes.
King's Field: The Ancient City Review
King's Field: The Ancient City will strongly appeal to a small subset of RPG gamers, fans of From Software's similar endeavors in particular.
Gauntlet Dark Legacy Review
The game's extremely dated appearance and poor performance keep it from competing with other four-player Xbox games.
Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers Review
Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers is most definitely a kids' game, but there's enough going on in it that even older players could get a kick out of this simple yet attractive game.
Rayman Rush Review
Rayman Rush certainly doesn't maintain the same level of quality as the main games in the Rayman series, but it can prove to be a decent diversion for a short period of time.
The Scorpion King: Sword of Osiris Review
Game players are naturally wary of movie-licensed video games, but The Scorpion King: Sword of Osiris doesn't need The Rock to be interesting.
Star X Review
Star X is a sight to be seen on the Game Boy Advance.
2002 FIFA World Cup Review
Anyone looking for an Xbox soccer game that plays well and looks nice would do well not to pass on 2002 FIFA World Cup.
The Operative: No One Lives Forever Review
Everything that's good about The Operative: No One Lives Forever is simply overshadowed by the frustration you are subjected to without having a quick save.
Spider-Man: The Movie PC Review
The PC version of Spider-Man: The Movie succeeds mostly in capturing the essence of Marvel Comics' popular superhero.
Global Operations Review
If you don't care about the single-player game, if you have a high-speed Internet connection, and if you can find a good server, then Global Operations is great.
Might and Magic IX Review
Might and Magic IX is the sort of game that can't please either longtime fans or series newcomers looking to get a role-playing fix.
Shadow Man 2econd Coming Review
Despite its flaws, Shadow Man 2econd Coming will likely manage to draw you in, especially if you can get into the creepy aesthetics and earnestly engaging story.
Army Men: RTS Review
Console gamers who haven't been spoiled by the likes of Starcraft or Red Alert 2 are in for a treat.
Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter Review
Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter is a solid game that fans of the first entry in the series should check out without giving it a second thought.
Blood Omen 2 Review (Xbox) Review
After playing Blood Omen 2 for the Xbox, you'll probably agree that one Legacy of Kain game--even if it isn't the best in the series--is better than none.
High Heat Major League Baseball 2003 Review
The High Heat Major League Baseball series is aging fast, but the 2003 GBA iteration--largely due to its two-player mode--is still a decent baseball game.
Wolfenstein 3D Review
The GBA version is a perfect conversion of the PC original, but that fact alone may limit its appeal.
NBA 2K2 Review
NBA 2K2 may have been a long time coming to the GameCube, but as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear Review
The action is still there, and, even more surprisingly, so are many of the frills that make the experience feel genuine.
Driven Review
If you're looking for a racing game that is easy to control but extremely difficult, Driven fits the bill.
Baseball Advance Review
Its clever design and gorgeous visuals more than compensate for any deficiency.
Spy Hunter Review
While it's almost identical to the PlayStation 2 version, the GameCube version is made slightly less desirable by the choppy, somewhat pixilated graphics.
Warrior Kings Review
Warrior Kings is a very good 3D real-time strategy game that could have been great.
Agent Under Fire Review
Fans of GoldenEye 007 and other console first-person shooters will find Agent Under Fire a by-the-numbers FPS affair.
The Sims: Vacation review
Vacation breathes enough life back into The Sims to make it interesting again, though it's really at its best when used with other expansion packs.
Warlords Battlecry II Review
Warlords Battlecry II's many playable factions, persistent heroes, and dynamic campaign are innovative elements on top of a solid real-time strategy game.
Real Pool 2 Review
Real Pool 2 may offer pretty graphics, but it comes up short in so many other areas that it cannot be heartily recommended.
Heroes of Might and Magic IV Review
The Heroes formula clearly stands the test of time in Heroes IV and is every bit as enjoyable as it's ever been in previous games.
NFL Blitz 2002 Review
NFL Blitz 2002 is the best arcade-style football game on the home market.
Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced Review
The ability to play as Chain, Buchu, Star, Blues, and the rest of the Yie Ar Kung-Fu gang is enough on its own to make this cart a must-have.
Savage Skies Review
Savage Skies can be entertaining at times, so it's not bad. But its flaws generally outweigh its strengths.
All-Star Baseball 2003 Review
If you're looking for a simulation-style baseball game for your GameCube, All-Star Baseball 2003 is the best and only option.
Hitchcock: The Final Cut Review
The game bears no comparison to Hitchcock's world of paranoia, intrigue, and ugly deeds.
Star Trek Bridge Commander Review
Totally Games has managed to accurately translate the slow-paced tactical battles of the Star Trek universe into an interesting game.
Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars Review
Although tactical combat is the focus of the title, Konami has infused an element of hands-on action into this competent, story-driven strategy RPG.

The game's great graphics, involving gameplay, and great commentary all blend together to deliver an exciting and authentic game of baseball.
Bloody Roar: Primal Fury Review

Grandia II Review
Consider this a good opportunity to try out a solid Japanese RPG, without having to own a console.
MotoGP Review
The graphics are some of the best for a racing game on the Game Boy Advance, and the different modes should keep you busy on long trips.
Ultima Online: Lord Blackthorn's Revenge Review
Its uniqueness has allowed Ultima Online to boast an unprecedented record for commercial longevity, but the game is finally running out of steam.
Sega Soccer Slam Review
Sega Soccer Slam sets the bar by which any other soccer games of this type will be judged.
Hot Shots Golf 3 Review
Fans of the series, or anyone looking for a consistently goofy, lighthearted golf game, will surely be pleased.

Sled Storm uses the SSX formula well, and anyone who enjoys a challenging arcade-style racer should have fun with the game.
SuperPower Review
SuperPower will please neither hard-core wargamers nor those just looking for an enjoyable way to conquer the world.
Dark Arena Review
Many of its little touches are quite impressive, but there are clearly more memorable shooters of its kind already available.
The Three Stooges Review
The Three Stooges looks and sounds good, but it just doesn't offer the depth that most gamers are looking for.
Out of the Park Baseball 4 Review
The game is a remarkable simulation of running a big-league franchise from the front office to the field.
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex Review
Featuring no improvements to its PlayStation 2 cousin, The Wrath of Cortex for the Xbox simply toes the line.
Mad Maestro! Review
While the game is both quirky and Japanese, it simply isn't compelling or challenging enough to really engage its target audience of hard-core rhythm gamers.
Motocross Maniacs Advance Review
Motocross Maniacs Advance offers just as much depth as the competition and is definitely worth taking a look at.
World Rally Championship Review
Players of all skill levels will enjoy World Rally Championship for what it is: a fun racing game with just the right amount of realism.
ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 Review
The gameplay mechanics that proved oh-so-satisfying more than a decade ago fail to impress today.
Shadow Force: Razor Unit Review
You mainly run around 10 bland variations of a single desert level while shooting at the same two enemies.
NASCAR Racing 2002 Season Review
NASCAR Racing 2002 Season proves once again that Papyrus is one of the most faithful and knowledgeable purveyors of racing games on the planet.
Destroyer Command Review
This is a blatant and insulting instance of a game released too early to the detriment of the people who buy it.
Trainz Review
If you've ever been captivated by the romance of the rails or have perhaps thought of dabbling in model railroading, Trainz could easily make an enthusiastic convert of you.
ESPN Winter X-Games Snowboarding 2002 Review
ESPN Winter X-Games Snowboarding 2002 demonstrates that an average game ported to a more powerful console is still an average game.
ESPN NBA 2Night 2002 Review
ESPN NBA 2Night 2002 really has nothing that would make it worth recommending over a number of other basketball games for the PlayStation 2.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Desert Siege Review
It features some subtle but important improvements to the original gameplay that make Ghost Recon a more polished and enjoyable game as a whole.

Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Review
Jedi Outcast is simply one of the easiest games to recommend this year.
Virtua Fighter 4 Review
You can't tell right off the bat, but Virtua Fighter 4 is the best fighting game in years.
Dark Planet: Battle for Natrolis Review
Many of Dark Planet's problems have been solved in other real-time strategy games, so it's disappointing to find them marring what should have been a better game.
Herdy Gerdy Review
Another five or six months in the cooker and Herdy Gerdy could have really been something special.

While Smash Court isn't quite as polished or deep as Virtua Tennis, there's still plenty of fun to be had with this game.

Mike Tyson Boxing is a boring, repetitive exercise in countering your opponent.

Pirates is, simply put, an endearing and well thought-out game.
WTA Tour Tennis Review
A few key gameplay and graphical issues keep it from reaching the same level of quality as other tennis franchises.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Review
If you have halfway decent reflexes and a gamepad, then you need to check out Tony Hawk 3. And if you don't have a gamepad, get one for it.
Mr. Mosquito Review
Mister Mosquito is a thoroughly original title that brings to a new audience, through parody, a touch of what makes Japanese culture so appealing to so many Westerners.
Triple Play 2002 Review
The game's great graphics, involving gameplay, and great commentary all blend together to deliver an exciting and authentic game of baseball.
Puyo Pop Review
The joy of Puyo Pop lies in its gameplay.
Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat Review

Mall Tycoon is more trouble than it's worth.
18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker Review
18 Wheeler, which was less than impressive on the Dreamcast, is even less so when presented on the technically superior GameCube.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2002 Review

UFC: Tapout Review
On its own merits, UFC: Tapout is an excellent, original fighting game that's especially fun for two players.
Maximo: Ghosts to Glory Review
The graphics are simple yet endearing, the gameplay is repetitive but solid, and the game's design is a throwback to the 16-bit era.
Gitaroo-Man Review
Gitaroo-Man is arguably the most original and inventive rhythm game since the advent of Dance Dance Revolution or the original Parappa the Rapper, and it's easily one of the best rhythm games for the PlayStation 2.
Jeremy McGrath Supercross World Review
The game is a thoroughly bland cross between the simulation and arcade styles of MX games.
NBA Street Review
A great gameplay system, detailed graphics, and easy-to-use control--there simply is no reason for you not to own this game.

Paradise Island is an expansion that every Tropico fan will be pleased to own.

Mimesis Online Review
Mimesis Online has a long way to go before it is worth your bandwidth, your time, or your money.

The game looks great, plays very well, and offers enough of a challenge to last a while, which adds up to make Knockout Kings 2002 a game that's a must-own for any fighting fan.
New Legends Review
The game's combat system is executed so well that it saves the game from being just another cookie-cutter beat-'em-up.
Eve of Extinction Review
Yuke's has taken the classic beat-'em-up gameplay and mixed it with the evil corporation motif, creating Eve of Extinction, a game with lofty aspirations but only moderate means.
Knockout Kings 2002 Review
Knockout Kings 2002 is the first version of the game for the Xbox, and it's certainly the best of the series to date.
World Tour Soccer 2002 Review
If you demand more from gameplay than what the FIFA series is currently offering, World Tour Soccer 2002 is a wise choice.
Monster Rancher Advance Review
Previous games in the Monster Rancher series may have been grander in size or graphical splendor, but Monster Rancher Advance may be the greatest entry yet for a number of reasons.
NBA 2K2 Review
Virtually every aspect of the real NBA game is accurately represented and well implemented to provide a roundball experience that is second to none.
Quarterback Club 2002 Review
Aside from the game's exceptional QB challenge mode, there isn't much that really stands out in Quarterback Club 2002.
Dragon Rage Review
Dragon Rage comes down to being a very basic shooter with a number of flaws thrown in at no extra cost.
Black & White: Creature Isle Review
Creature Isle will certainly appeal to anyone who enjoyed Black & White in the first place. Surprisingly, though, it's also suitable for some of those who didn't.
Star Wars Starfighter Review
If you feel like playing through a solid arcade shooter set in the Star Wars universe, then you might want to give Starfighter a try.
Prehistorik Man Review
At best, Prehistorik Man is a weekend diversion from the GBA's more substantial fare.

NBA 2K2 Review
No matter how you like your hoops games, NBA 2K2 is the best basketball game available for the Xbox.
Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 Review

High Heat Baseball 2003 Review

It's an unusual game that offers a serious challenge, as well as gorgeous graphics, a strong soundtrack, plenty of style, and a good replay value.
NBA Jam 2002 Review
Several problems ultimately keep NBA Jam 2002 from attaining all-star status. But all things considered, it's still a decent handheld rendition of two-on-two basketball.
Forever Kingdom Review
Some players will find that the more unique aspects of Forever Kingdom make it a worthwhile title even though it's merely adequate in most respects.

In attempting to be all things to all PC motorcycle enthusiasts, Moto Racer 3 isn't quite as enjoyable or as polished as it could have been.
Columns Crown Review
Although it's not as energetic or complex as many modern-day puzzle games, it doesn't really disappoint in any specific area either.

The end product looks and feels enough like the original game to succeed.

Fighting Legends could have used at least another year in development.

Lineage looks and plays like a much older game, and unless you can drum up some fake nostalgia, you most likely won't make it past the free trial period.
ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 Review

You'll find virtually everything there is to like about action gaming in the stunning sequel to Serious Sam.
Cabela's Off-Road Adventure 2 Review
Off-Road Adventure 2 is unlike virtually any previous driving game in that it does not force you to compete against other cars or a constantly ticking clock.
Cel Damage Review
Cel Damage is quite an amazing bit of eye candy, but it's a real shame that the game behind the pretty graphics just doesn't hold up.
Starships Unlimited: Divided Galaxies Review
Starships Unlimited is a game that's as remarkable for its humble shareware beginnings as it is for its elegant design.
La Grande Armee at Austerlitz Review
It's different enough from the traditional turn-based, hexagonal wargame that wargamers should sit up and take notice.
Mech Platoon Review
Although the Game Boy Advance is nowhere near as powerful as a PC, Mech Platoon compromises nothing compared with stalwart veterans like Starcraft or Command & Conquer.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front Review
The amount of enjoyment you'll derive from Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front may be directly related to your love of the series.
Bloodwake Review
Though not without drawbacks, Bloodwake is an entertaining game that could be a good start to a new series.
MX 2002 Featuring Ricky Carmichael Review
The control is tight, the graphics are more than adequate, and the Xbox version's additional features make it as good a choice of motocross racer as any currently available today.
Nightcaster Review
Nightcaster is a game that aims for the sky but comes up a little short.
GoDai: Elemental Force Review
Despite some solid ideas and some very cool game mechanics, the game is technically flawed to a degree that's almost criminal.

Despite the fact that it's a solid first-year effort, Courtside 2002 isn't without its flaws and is generally a step behind more seasoned competing products.
Rez Review
On paper, UGA's "music shooter" may sound a little dull, but it's one of those games that simply must be seen--and in this case, heard--to be fully understood.
Tsugunai: Atonement Review
Many of the interesting concepts in Tsugunai: Atonement lose their appeal shortly after the umpteenth quest to help some tortured soul in town.
Jonny Moseley Mad Trix Review
Virtually every technical and stylistic aspect of the game is either shoddily handled, or feels somehow incomplete.

If you're into games like Gradius and Project S-11, and happen to possess twitch reflexes, Phalanx has your call sign, Ace.
NFL 2K2 Review
NFL 2K2 for the Xbox is marginally better looking than its PlayStation 2 counterpart, but it doesn't really take advantage of the Xbox's hardware.
Powerpuff Girls: Mojo Jojo-A-Go-Go Review
While the game can't be recommended as highly as the incredible cartoon it's based on, Powerpuff Girls: Mojo-Jojo A-Go-Go is a capable shooter in its own right.
NBA Inside Drive 2002 Review
A general lack of polish and a long list of annoying quirks make it difficult to recommend when there might be a better alternative on the horizon.
Star Wars: Obi-Wan Review
Something bad clearly happened when Obi-Wan was turned into an Xbox game.
Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure Review
The game is too frustrating and convoluted for kids to have any fun with it, and all but the most desperate adult GameCube fans will find it tedious and unentertaining as well.
FIFA 2002 Review
As the first and only soccer game available for the GameCube, FIFA 2002 is an excellent start.
Master Rallye Review
Master Rallye is an entertaining trucking thrill ride that walks a fine line between a realistic rally title and a wild 4x4 off-road racer.
Mega Man Xtreme 2 Review
It will certainly appeal to an audience eager for a serious challenge and more classic Mega Man action as well as those who might have been disappointed with the previous game.
Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land Review
Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land is easily one of the best PC-style role-playing games to ever grace a console.
Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force Review
Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force is a fairly by-the-book first-person shooter given depth by the Star Trek mythos.
Gunfighter: The Legend of Jesse James Review
While this light-gun game falls short more often than it succeeds, it does give a glimpse of what could be done within the settings of the wild Wild West.
Planet Monsters Review
Planet Monsters doesn't bring much to this already well-established genre.
IL-2 Sturmovik Review
IL-2 Sturmovik is destined to be a classic. This is one of those simulations that reminds you why you love the genre.
NFL GameDay 2002 Review
After an anemic first-year effort on the PlayStation 2, it seems that with GameDay 2002, the series is finally back on track.
Takeda Review
Although Takeda is original, a combination of questionable design decisions and serious technical issues make it tough to play, let alone enjoy.

Thanks to a claustrophobic clipping plane and frequent dead zones, BackTrack still feels like unfinished shareware.
Frequency Review
Frequency claims the title of best rhythm game with ease and is a thoroughly enjoyable game in its own right.
Jeremy McGrath Supercross World Review
Gamers are advised to avoid this game, period.
Driven Review
The real fun of Driven is that it is so easy to play and yet so strategic in execution.
Mad Dash Racing Review
Mad Dash Racing is a competent racing game, but its single-player gets pretty dull, especially once you've unlocked most of what the game has to offer.
Screamer 4x4 Review
If you're the type of driver who feels comfortable with digital acceleration and braking, there's no question that Virgin's latest off-road racer has a lot to offer.
Sunny Garcia Surfing Review
The age of the engine is apparent, and the presentation and gameplay simply aren't up to par with those of more modern surfing games.
Capitalism II Review
Once competition picks up against the aggressive AI, Capitalism II shows its colors as a great strategy game. Also, as if to help your own bottom line, the game's a real bargain at $20.
Shadow Hearts Review
Despite its considerable depth, Shadow Hearts is easy to get into and yet maintains a satisfying level of challenge.
NFL 2K2 Review
No other game truly delivers the feeling of literally catching a football, running through the line, or making that perfect throw better than NFL 2K2 does.
Soul Reaver 2 Review
Those players familiar with the original Soul Reaver should have a good idea of what to expect from the sequel and its innovative blend of action and puzzle-solving.
NHL Hitz 2002 Review
As the only hockey game available, NHL Hitz 2002 deserves a strong look from GameCube-owning pucks fans.
Transworld Surf Review
Transworld Surf is one of the best action sports titles in the Xbox launch lineup.
Etherlords Review
Tedious strategy elements aside, Etherlords is the most successful attempt to combine the power of computer graphics with the dynamics of collectible card games.
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 Review
If you're looking for some BMX action, you could certainly do worse, but Acclaim and Z-Axis could certainly do better.
Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions Review
If you're looking for a great-looking game that will show off the Xbox's graphical muscle, Wreckless fits the bill.

The game's unique style and great gameplay, with its distilled strategic and tactical elements, makes for a very enjoyable experience--one that can last you for a very long time.
ESPN NFL Prime Time 2002 Review
ESPN NFL Prime Time isn't the right game for anyone who's greatly concerned about the presentation and handling of his or her football game.
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX Review
The controls and general feel of Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX make it a satisfying product.
NHL 2002 Review
Even though its graphics fail to take advantage of the Xbox hardware, its depth of modes is staggering, and the gameplay is predominantly tight.
Driven Review
Innovative and unplayable are two wholly disparate adjectives, but they both apply to the PlayStation 2 version of Driven.
SSX Tricky Review
Tricky for the Xbox exhibits some the obvious signs of being a port but remains a highly addictive and entertaining experience.

This package contains the major hits that most fans are after.

It's a game that reaches for the stars, but in trying to give you everything, it doesn't do any one thing as well as it might.
Star Wars Starfighter: Special Edition Review
Star Wars Starfighter: Special Edition manages to maintain the charm of the Lucas films and also deliver an entertaining foray into the Star Wars universe.
FIFA 2002 Review
The PlayStation version of FIFA 2002 doesn't quite have all the features available on the PlayStation 2, but it makes a solid case for an investment on its own.
Europa Universalis II Review
The new game has a broader focus, one that will interest returning veterans of the first game, and it greatly improves the tutorial and documentation to ease the significant learning curve for new players.
Schizm Review
Schizm has a thin story, but the puzzles were obviously created by and for people who love a daunting task.
ESPN NFL Primetime 2002 Review
The game's ESPN license can't hide the fact that NFL Primetime has slippery controls and flawed AI, which ultimately translates to a mediocre NFL simulation.
Arctic Thunder Review
It's noticeably better looking than the lackluster PlayStation 2 version, but it still has its fair share of problems.
Secret Service: In Harm's Way Review
Secret Service has a lot of potential that's hampered by sloppy execution.
Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding Review
While Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding is visually impressive and loaded with options, its technical merits are drastically undermined by its shoddy gameplay.
Super Bust-A-Move Review
This is the first handheld version of Bust-A-Move that's both playable and visually appealing.
SSX Tricky Review
SSX Tricky for the GameCube features little to no improvements on the PlayStation 2 version, but that doesn't keep it from being a blast to play.
Comanche 4 Review
In the Comanche series' fourth installment, NovaLogic has gone back to what it does best--making flight sims with as much bang-per-flight-minute as possible.
Kohan: Ahriman's Gift Review
If you've never taken up arms in the Kohan universe, this is your second chance to introduce yourself to a new brand of real-time strategy game--and you shouldn't miss it again.
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 Review
The GBA version of Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 makes no compromises in re-creating the experience of its console cousins.
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Review
On one hand, it's a derivative real-time strategy game. But on the other, it's a tidy little bundle of escapism that's perfect for a generation of gamers raised on Star Wars.
Azurik: Rise of Perathia Review
If you already own an Xbox, don't bother picking up the game, and if you're considering buying an Xbox, don't judge the console by this game.
Monster Truck Rumble Review
Despite that it doesn't play terribly, Monster Truck Rumble really has nothing to offer.
S.W.I.N.E. Review
While the gameplay isn't quite as unusual as the premise, S.W.I.N.E. is a solid real-time strategy game with plenty of humor, all wrapped up in a beautiful shell.
Frank Herbert's Dune Review
It's a poorly designed 3D action-adventure game that actually has precious little to do with the source material and equally little to recommend it.
Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open Review
Despite its rather humdrum graphics and sound, it manages to provide a thrilling experience for the first several hours.
AquaNox Review
While the graphics are undeniably great, the battles are dull, and the awkward controls and extremely brief missions prevent AquaNox from being engrossing as an action game.
EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin Review
The Shadows of Luclin is easily the biggest, most significant EverQuest expansion yet, and considering the massive size of the other expansions, that's no small feat.
Jade Cocoon 2 Review
Jade Cocoon 2 is much better than its predecessor, retaining and improving on its predecessor's strengths, but it lacks that special something that makes it more than the sum of its parts.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto Review
Give Giants a try, and in short order, you'll find yourself playing one of the PS2's most likable, most offbeat shooters.
American Bass Challenge Review
Fans of arcade-style fishing may turn their noses up at the complexity of the game, but in the end, this is a solid game that will satiate avid anglers.
Great Outdoor Games Bass 2002 Review
Great Outdoor Games Bass 2002 from Konami is a fine example of how a game can be stripped down to its barest essentials and still be a great game.
Disney's Tarzan Untamed Review
This is a great game for children and perhaps for adults looking for a quick rental, but it's certainly not something you'd induct into your permanent collection.
Rally Trophy Review
If you enjoy this generally lonely style of driving, Rally Trophy will take you on a journey that ranks right up there with the best the racing genre has to offer.
Extreme-G 3 Review
Those who waited for the GameCube version of Extreme-G 3 have been rewarded with a superior version of the game.
Survivor Review
If you're harboring even a tiny urge to buy this game, please listen very carefully to this advice: Don't do it.
Wave Rally Review
Wave Rally seems like a missed opportunity.
Max Payne Review
It's an outstanding and original action game that's not just different from all other shooters to date, but also in many ways superior.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Review
While visually and aurally sound, and at times impressive, Harry Potter's GBA debut is neither innovative nor particularly compelling from a gameplay perspective.
The Simpsons Road Rage Review
While The Simpsons is often entertaining and enjoyable, The Simpsons Road Rage for the Xbox is not.
Gorasul: Legacy of the Dragon Review
Bugs and countless rough edges take a lot of the fun out of this fantasy role-playing game.

4X4 EVO 2 Review
If you can put up with some frustrating inconsistencies and technical problems, 4x4 EVO 2 offers some thrilling off-road racing.
Supercar Street Challenge Review
For all its promise, Supercar Street Challenge will only leave you racing to find a better game.
Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder Review
While not without its flaws, the game capably brings the gameplay mechanics and general style of the Tony Hawk games to the mountain.

Each mission is tightly scripted and offers almost zero chance for freedom or exploration, which means there's very little replay value.
Top Gun: Combat Zones Review
Top Gun: Combat Zones lacks the value and longevity of better games in its field.

The improvements in the game, although subtle on the surface, are substantial for serious fans of the NBA.
Project Eden Review

While not perfect, Wave Race: Blue Storm is the most accurate video game representation of water-based racing ever to be released.
Project Eden Review
Adventure gamers looking for a cerebral jaunt through a futuristic underworld will find Project Eden a puzzle paradise.
Burnout Review
Burnout is one of the most intense and entertaining racing games on the PlayStation 2, complete with tight controls and impressive graphics.
Supercar Street Challenge Review
Supercar Street Challenge demands an extraordinary suspension of belief to enjoy, even on the most rudimentary levels.
Stunt GP Review
Aside from its amusing track design and decent customization elements, there really isn't anything much there in regard to actual compelling gameplay.
Dark Age of Camelot Review
This impressive online role-playing game marks the dawning of a new era in a gaming genre that has steadily gained prominence since Ultima Online made national headlines in 1997.
Dark Summit Review
Ultimately, this trek into uncharted territory produces a fun experience that will constantly keep you trying to complete challenges.
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex Review
For better or worse, The Wrath of Cortex is no different from previous Crash Bandicoot games.
Dark Summit Review
There's nothing that really makes Dark Summit particularly impressive, but it's a good game that's certainly worthy of a rental.
Luigi's Mansion Review
Luigi's Mansion features some refreshing ideas but fails to match the classic status of Mario's adventures.
Lady Sia Review
Thanks to its solid control, clever puzzles, and stellar production values, Lady Sia is easily worth a trip to the local game shop.
Super Monkey Ball Review
The game makes a strong case for the power of simple yet incredibly addictive gameplay.
Spyro: Season of Ice Review
Once you're used to floating diagonally and hopping ledges toward loftier areas, the game becomes quite fun.
NHL Hitz 2002 Review
Anyone who's played Midway's Wayne Gretzky games will be right at home playing NHL Hitz 2002 but will find it to be little more than a nostalgic walk down memory lane.
Mystery of the Druids Review
The setup promises both sleuthing and suspense, but Mystery of the Druids delivers neither.
Ballistics Review
If unadulterated speed and kaleidoscopic imagery sounds like fun, Ballistics is your ticket to paradise. But many racing fans may well find that paradise short-lived.
Project Gotham Racing Review
Anyone who considers themselves a car fan should seriously consider adding Project Gotham Racing to their library of Xbox games.
Empire Earth Review
Regardless of whether you've played other games like it, you'll find that Empire Earth is massive--more than most real-time strategy games would dare to be.
Madden NFL 2002 Review
If you're a PS2 owner wondering if you should get the Xbox version of Madden 2002 because it might look better, the answer is no.
Fuzion Frenzy Review
There are other, more-engaging multiplayer experiences to be had with the Xbox, but at this point, none have the pick-up-and-play appeal of Fuzion Frenzy.
James Bond in Agent Under Fire Review
Agent Under Fire isn't a horrible game, but its lackluster level design, poor enemy AI, and easy level of difficulty pile up to detract from what it does offer greatly.
NASCAR Heat 2002 Review
NASCAR Heat 2002 chooses to err on the side of simulation racing and, for the most part, comes off as a highly realistic replica of stock-car racing.
Patrician II Review
Patrician II successfully blends trading, city-building, and simple ship combat in a way that's constantly engaging.
Smuggler's Run 2: Hostile Territory Review
Smuggler's Run 2: Hostile Territory will instantly endear itself to fans of the original, as it is essentially a better-looking and more fun version of the original.
Zoboomafoo: Leapin' Lemurs Review
If Zoboomafoo is successful at doing one thing, it's working as an advertisement for the children's TV show on PBS.
NASCAR Thunder 2002 Review
Although the gameplay in NASCAR Thunder 2002 isn't quite as realistic as that of competing products, it is still a lot of fun.
NFL Fever 2002 Review
The casual football fan who wants a great-looking and solid-playing football game may not notice some of the AI quirks and high passing percentages in NFL Fever 2002.
Splashdown Review
Splashdown is a good racing game that--with a few tweaks-- could have easily been one of the greatest.
Civilization III Review
Civilization III is a triumphant proclamation that strategy gaming is alive and well and still able to keep you rooted in front of your computer for hours at a time.
Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies Review
Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies is a highly enjoyable, well-executed flight sim that perfectly blends the action elements found in the series' earlier games with the sort of narrative typically reserved for other genres.

Fans will find more than enough reason to get the latest and best version of Madden football we've seen on the N64 yet.
Bomberman Online Review
Bomberman Online takes an old standard and makes it feel at least somewhat fresh again.

NBA Live 2002 does not improve significantly on last year's version and seems to be falling behind competing hoops products.
Madden NFL 2002 Review
If you enjoy simulation-style football games that play well, have incredible depth, and look great, Madden 2002 is your game.
Jack Orlando: A Cinematic Adventure Review
The puzzles and graphics are enough to recommend Jack Orlando to serious adventure game fans.
Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor Review
The game is primarily an uninspired dungeon crawl, burdened by repetitive gameplay, a cumbersome interface, and some serious technical issues.
Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix Review
If you're a DDR fan who hasn't already imported the bevy of dancing games available in Japan, DDR Disney is worth checking out.
NFL 2K2 Review
Fans of the NFL 2K series will undoubtedly find that it's hard not to like NFL 2K2.
F1 2001 Review
Very few have managed to walk the fine line between appealing to the masses and appealing to those who require the utmost level of realism, but that's precisely what Electronic Arts' F1 2001 for the PlayStation 2 does.
The Weakest Link Review
Only those who like collecting anything to do with a show that probably won't last more than a season or two in the States should seriously consider The Weakest Link.
Ooga Booga Review
Ooga Booga is a lighthearted and somewhat original game, but it's not quite as addictive as the games it most closely resembles.
ESPN X Games Skateboarding Review
Thanks to its dichotomous design, fans of the vert event will love X Games Skateboarding, while street fans should look elsewhere.
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare Review
The budget price of this game is sure to please just about any gamer willing to take the plunge into this well-saturated genre.
Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace Review
Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace is seven full levels of original gameplay steeped in old-school trickery.
NHL 2002 Review
NHL 2002 is the deepest, most realistic 3D NHL game on the market.
High Heat Baseball 2002 Review
It's a decent freshman effort, but a lack of gameplay details and multiplayer features and substandard visuals limit the game's appeal to die-hard MLB fans only.
Sub Command Review
It is a sophisticated simulation for people who like their sims sophisticated.
Flight Simulator 2002 Review
Whether you're a nervous tenderfoot or hardened devotee of desktop flying, this is the Flight Simulator you've been waiting for.
World War III: Black Gold Review
It's an all-around great real-time strategy game that also happens to stand out from other games in the genre.
MXRider Review
MXRider offers a good amount of playability for anyone even remotely interested in motocross or racing games in general.
Syphon Filter 3 Review
Syphon Filter 3 looks, plays, and feels more like an expansion pack for the previous games than a true sequel.
All-Star Baseball 2002 Review
The GameCube version of All-Star Baseball 2002 exhibits many of the traits inherent to a port and ultimately fails to impress.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2x Review
Anyone who is looking for a nice, solid freestyle sports game for the Xbox and who isn't looking for a graphical showpiece for his or her new system won't be disappointed.
The Sims: Hot Date Review
Hot Date's real additions are its expanded social options and its new downtown area, both of which make an already-interesting game even more fun to play.
NBA Live 2002 Review
NBA Live 2002 seems to be falling behind competing hoops products on the market and didn't improve much in moving to the Xbox.
Silent Scope 2: Dark Silhouette Review
Considering how much of the game's appeal was based on the sniper rifle alone, removing it leaves behind a substandard game.
The Mummy Returns Review
The Mummy Returns is a valiant attempt to make an interesting game playable for a wide audience, and it is, for the most part, successful.
Ultimate Ride Review
Ultimate Ride has a great basic premise that is sure to appeal to roller coaster fans of all ages.
BASS Strike Review
The frustrating controls ruin what would have been a perfectly good fishing game.
Kinetica Review
The interesting character design and unique stunt system set it apart from the pack, but the fluctuating frame rate, track design issues, and poor sensation of speed hold it back from being a really good futuristic racing game.
Spy Hunter Review
It's a solid reinterpretation of a video game classic that adds its own unique elements to the franchise without forsaking what made Spy Hunter what it was.
Tales of Destiny II Review
If you value the gameplay that really makes an RPG what it is, you'll find a lot to like in Tales of Destiny II.
Zax: The Alien Hunter Review
Zax succeeds admirably with its simple aims. It handles one vital game design element extremely well: pacing.
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX Review
Mat Hoffman is easily the best BMX game on the Dreamcast.
Open Kart Review
Open Kart is an uneven proposition that is too fleeting for most and too simplistic for serious simulation buffs.
Monster Rancher 3 Review
Offering a successful mix of old and new features, Monster Rancher 3 is a solid entry in the series.
Paris-Dakar Rally Review
Regardless of how passionate you are about rally racing, or just the ASO-sponsored event itself, it's doubtful that you'll tolerate Acclaim's mockery of the sport.
Throne of Darkness Review
The influence of Diablo on Throne of Darkness is clearly evident--but while Throne of Darkness may be similar, you'll find that the Japanese setting isn't its only distinguishing feature.
NFL Blitz 2002 Review
NFL Blitz 2002 for the Game Boy Advance isn't just a mere distortion of football, but a botched imitation of NFL Blitz itself.
Rails Across America Review
It's a game whose real strengths are always in competition with its flaws. Happily for fans of hard-core strategy games, the strengths usually win out.
One Piece Mansion Review
Offering an unfamiliar style of addictive puzzle gameplay and boasting the personality of a vast assortment of wacky characters, One Piece Mansion is a fine buy for fans of the genre.
Real War Review
Real War is a throwback to the days of those horrible real-time strategy clones that followed the success of Westwood's Command & Conquer series.
Time Crisis II Review
Time Crisis II is a whole lot more fun than a console port of a three-year-old arcade game should be.
Kessen II Review
With its intuitive interface, pared-down strategy elements, and complex cinematics and storyline, Kessen II is designed to appeal to a more mainstream audience than any of Koei's previous strategy games.
F-14 Tomcat Review
F-14 Tomcat's somewhat generic nature, dark visuals, and repetitious missions may deter the casual flight jockey.
Batman: Vengeance Review
Batman: Vengeance may not be one of the year's best overall, but it is one of those incredibly rare birds known as a good licensed game.
Yanya Caballista: City Skater Review
Those intrigued by the game's bizarre premise or cel-shaded presentation will likely be disappointed by the shallow gameplay and repetitive mission objectives.
Heavy Metal: Geomatrix Review
Heavy Metal is simply an uninteresting licensed 3D arena shooter that feels extremely rushed and won't impress anyone.
NHL Hitz 2002 Review
Hockey fans might want to pick up NHL Hitz 2002 if they're looking for something different, but for everyone else, a weekend rental should suffice.
Gallop Racer 2001 Review
If you're looking for a change of pace in your racing game, there is certainly nothing else on the market quite like it.
Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open Review
Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open is definitely worth a look for fans of racing games and fans of big-block trucks.

In spite of the game's original qualities, there are just too many other, better choices available to make it worthwhile for most real-time strategy game players.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Review
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 represents nothing less than the best skateboarding game the system has to offer.
Dragonriders: Chronicles of Pern Review
It takes the primary elements of the Pern novels and uses them to fashion a run-of-the-mill adventure game that offers very little actual adventure and too many frustrating mechanical issues.
Shogun: Total War Warlord Edition Review
For the game's existing fans, it's a must-have. And for the uninitiated, it's an ideal opportunity to see what all the fuss was about.
Armored Core 2: Another Age Review
Armored Core 2: Another Age remains a solid, thoroughly playable mech-combat simulator, with enough tools and options to please any fan of the genre.
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 Review
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 does not suffer from any single huge, crippling flaw; rather, a handful of smaller problems plague the game and keep it from achieving BMX greatness.
MTV Total Request Live Trivia Review
MTV TRL Trivia is typically a bubblegummer's who's who that simply won't appeal to fans of general entertainment trivia.
Death Crimson OX Review
It's hard to recommend Death Crimson OX to anyone but the truly desperate light-gun fanatic.
ESPN Final Round Golf 2002 Review
It may prove to be too easy for the more experienced player, but with 90 holes of golf and a good multiplayer game, Final Round makes for a more-than-acceptable portable golf game.
RoboForge Review
Thinking up and tweaking your robots in RoboForge offers a lot of challenge, replay value, and entertainment.
Primal Prey Review
Primal Prey is a budget version of another budget-priced game, and it's exactly as undistinguished as that makes it sound.
World Series Baseball 2K2 Review
Despite its frustratingly flawed gameplay, World Series Baseball 2K2 is the Dreamcast's best baseball game.
Saiyuki: Journey West Review
Despite its age, the title is well executed and possesses enough merit to compete in the market in 2001.
Madden NFL 2002 Review
The game manages to one-up last year's Madden in most categories.

For football fans looking for an alternative to Madden, QB Club 2002 is far from perfect, but it isn't terrible, especially if you're not interested in a single-player game.

Razor Freestyle Scooter Review
Seasoned fans of the freestyle sports genre will whip through Razor Freestyle Scooter in an afternoon, no questions asked.
Rune: Viking Warlord Review
Rune: Viking Warlord proves that a solid concept is nothing without strong execution and that exorbitant amounts of carnage will never mask a game's faults.
Tweety & The Magic Gems Review
While the GBA needs a party game, Tweety & The Magic Gems is far too laborious and bland to captivate even the most carefree of audiences.
Eurofighter Typhoon Review
Having to jump around from plane to plane gives Eurofighter Typhoon a scattered feel in which you're fighting timing rather than flying missions.
NFL GameDay 2002 Review
GameDay 2002 does a decent job of delivering a fun and somewhat realistic game of football to the PlayStation.
Madden NFL 2002 Review
While Madden 2002 isn't reinventing football on the PlayStation, it is really the best you're going to get on the system.
WWF Betrayal Review
Double Dragon it's not, but WWF Betrayal does give you the chance to pummel hoodlums and machine-gun-toting businessmen with reckless abandon.
Sega Bass Fishing 2 Review
Sega Bass Fishing 2 is a model example of what sequels should be.
Conquest: Frontier Wars Review
Conquest succeeds in large part due to an epic atmosphere and a number of unique design elements that convey the complexity of waging war, from establishing supply lines to commissioning talented commanders.
Mario Kart Super Circuit Review
Whether you're an ardent fan of the Mario Kart series or a first-time player, Mario Kart Super Circuit is a must-have for owners of the Game Boy Advance.
Squad Battles: Vietnam Review

The game capably competes against any other college football product on the market.
Lightweight Ninja Review
There's really nothing to Lightweight Ninja aside from running, jumping, picking up items, and occasionally shooting an enemy.
Baseball Mogul 2002 Review
Baseball Mogul 2002's greatest success, as well as most disappointing failure, is that the captivating gameplay remains virtually identical to the first game in the series.
Tang Tang Review
Although it is indeed short, easy, and unimpressive, Tang Tang may actually find a welcome audience with younger game players, as well as those who just love block-creation puzzle games.
Shattered Galaxy Review
The battles in Shattered Galaxy can be spectacular, tense, and exciting, with one caveat: you're always limited to one small corner of the action.
Akimbo: Kung-Fu Hero Review
Calling Akimbo: Kung-Fu Hero a lousy platform-action game would be an insult to lousy platform-action games everywhere.
Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse Review
Why anyone would make an action RPG without the all-important RPG element is beyond comprehension.
Gadget Racers Review
Gadget Racers is a fun, engaging little game, and it will have you running quick cash laps for longer than you'd like to admit--for the purpose of netting the next neat little power-up.
Anarchy Online Review
If it can conquer its technical problems, Anarchy Online will be the very best online role-playing game around.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Third Edition Review
If you're into trivia games like You Don't Know Jack, you may get some mileage out of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but its uninteresting gameplay and methodical pacing make it practically a chore to play.
Outtrigger Review
Iif you're a broadband-adapter owner looking for something new that supports your woefully neglected device, Outtrigger fits the bill nicely.
Front Office Football: The College Years Review
The heart of The College Years lies in its superb depiction of player recruiting.
Legends of Might and Magic Review
Ultimately, it's more disappointing than exciting, and not just because it's transparently modeled after a much better game.
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal Review
It's filled with high adventure, epic battles, and plenty of surprises, and it's got a good cast, a good story, and more of all the elements that have made the series successful.
NCAA Football 2002 Review
NCAA Football 2002 takes another step in creating its own identity, separate from the Madden series, and is able to stand on its own merits.
WarJetz Review
The game's forgiving physics and plentiful mode choices make it a good choice for casual weekend competition
MX 2002 Featuring Ricky Carmichael Review
MX 2002 is good enough to attract those of you who aren't already onboard the motocross train without alienating fans of the real thing in the process.
The King of Fighters 2000 Review
While it may not be the last great NeoGeo game, it's certainly one of the last pretty good ones.
Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword Review
If you found the previous pocket-sized Tomb Raider too sluggish or bland, this new one probably won't change your mind.
Rugby 2002 Review
Anyone with an interest in rugby will definitely get something out of this game.
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare Review
It's a clumsy port, but what's even more disappointing is that it's a clumsy port of only a middling console game.
Empire of the Ants Review
Empire of the Ants just doesn't do justice to the really unusual and interesting premise.
18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker Review
18 Wheeler would be easier to recommend as a budget title; with a price comparable to more lasting games, however, it's probably best left as a rental.
NASCAR Heat 2002 Review
While it will appeal to fans of NASCAR racing, it will probably appeal more to the less hard-core racing fan and to those who can ignore the game's slim damage model.
Digimon Digital Card Battle Review
While Digimon Card Battle accurately duplicates the flow and gameplay of the tabletop game, its simplicity will turn off any but the youngest of players.
Hot Potato! Review
Although Hot Potato! is probably very different from the shooters or puzzle games that you're used to playing, it's also quite entertaining.
Top Gear GT Championship Review
Top Gear GT Championship barely suffices in the make-or-break categories of graphics, sound, and gameplay.
Atari Anniversary Edition Review
The PC version of this package does a far better job of emulating these classic Atari hits.
Stupid Invaders Review
Despite its impressive graphics and excellent voice acting, the simplistic and monotonous nature of Stupid Invaders' gameplay manages to drag down an otherwise entertaining experience.
Crazy Taxi 2 Review
While it would have been nice to see some slightly more drastic changes to the Crazy Taxi formula, fans of the original will immediately feel right at home with Crazy Taxi 2.
Dark Cloud Review
Dark Cloud successfully blends adventure, RPG, simulation, and strategy elements into one incredibly addictive game.
Commander Keen Review
Commander Keen was always better suited to a platform where instant save games could make up for its frantic gameplay and cranked difficulty.
Crazy Taxi Review
Crazy Taxi is still a fun, exciting game, but fans of Crazy Taxi who already own the Dreamcast release don't really need to bother with the PlayStation 2 version.
Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising Review
In spite of its lack of multiplayer support, even the most jaded real-time strategy player will find something fresh and exciting in Hostile Waters.
Worms World Party Review
Like the other Worms games, World Party appears simplistic at first, but it actually packs a level of deep strategic value that other games in the genre could only hope to achieve.
Confidential Mission Review
If Sega's previous arcade light-gun games still hold appeal for you, this game may be right up your alley.
Boxing Review
Boxing is just simply a fun game to play that is more than worth its $10 price tag.
X-Men: Wolverine's Rage Review
Discerning action aficionados require much more than the 13 brief levels of slashing, jumping, and supernatural healing that this game has to offer
MTV Music Generator 2 Review
It's not suitable for everyone, and it will require considerable time and effort on your part in order to produce satisfying results.
Time Crisis: Project Titan Review
Hard-core Time Crisis fans and those just looking for a good gun game would do well to pick up this game, but the antiquated presentation, lack of options, and brutal continue system will make this at best a rental for most.
Fly! II Review
It's very disappointing that a simulation with so much potential is marred by so many problems, because Fly II is fundamentally a good game.
Pac-Man Collection Review
Regardless of their age, the simple, undemanding diversions found in Pac-Man Collection are perfect for today's portable systems.
Jurassic Park III: The DNA Factor Review
This game has nothing to do whatsoever with Univeral's megahit movie. What it has to do with dinosaurs, or even video games in general, is also unclear.
Monopoly Casino: Vegas Edition Review
If you're in training for your next Vegas excursion or if casino games are a deep dark mystery, Monopoly Casino Vegas Edition does supply a solid stomping ground.
Rules of the Game Review
You'll start seeing repeats of the same questions far too soon.
The Corporate Machine Review
Winning design, powerful artificial intelligence, and a great sense of humor make The Corporate Machine one of the best strategy games so far this year.
WarJetz Review
Graphical issues notwithstanding, WarJetz is a fun two-player battle game with a decent single-player campaign.
The Last Blade 2: Heart of the Samurai Review
All things considered, The Last Blade 2 for the Dreamcast is a faithful port of a good game.
Pokémon Crystal Review
For those who are new to Pokémon or have yet to upgrade from the Red/Blue/Yellow series, Pokémon: Crystal Version offers a great deal of value for the investment involved.
Fur Fighters: Viggo's Revenge Review
Fur Fighters holds its own with a quirky, refreshing style.
CART Fury Championship Racing Review
With the game's bad AI, out-of-place music, and long load times, CART Fury causes a lot of unnecessary frustration.
MLB 2002 Review
If you can get past the sluggish pacing and incessant overcomplication, MLB 2002 is a wonderful game.
Echelon Review
In spite of its problems, Echelon does hit close enough to the mark to offer some fast and flashy, but ultimately shallow, thrills.
Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six Review
Even though it's only a subtle remake, fans of the webbed wonder will no doubt enjoy everything that Spider-Man 2: The Sinister Six has to offer.
Super Dodge Ball Review
Super Dodge Ball does a good job of showcasing the power of the Game Boy Advance--it's fast, colorful, and fun to play.
Pinobee: Wings of Adventure Review
If you're the type of person who likes to uncover every last little secret in a game, Pinobee might be worth checking out.
Motor Mayhem: Vehicular Combat League Review
Motor Mayhem is different enough that it will appeal to those gamers who have an interest in the car-combat genre or aren't excited about the new turn for the morbid that Twisted Metal has taken.
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX Review
Unless you've played Road Champs BXS Stunt Biking to death, the sheer number of gameplay and style improvements present in Mat Hoffman ultimately make it the more satisfying of the two games.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero Review
Although Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero is flawed visually, the gameplay system is both unique and entertaining.
Namco Museum Review
The Game Boy Advance version of Namco Museum isn't the best translation that these arcade classics have ever seen, but the ability to take them with you wherever you go makes this version of Namco Museum the most compelling version to date.
World War II Online: Blitzkrieg Review
World War II Online is a dangerous mess of a game that can't be recommended to any but the most hard-core game players in its current state.
Cool Boarders 2001 Review
For those who think SSX is too simplified and that ESPN X-Games Snowboarding is too difficult, Cool Boarders 2001 is a perfect compromise.

In borrowing conventions from earlier games, Westwood managed to make its latest project interesting enough and enjoyable enough to be worthwhile for virtually anyone who's ever liked another game of its type.
Gauntlet Dark Legacy Review
If you have a group of bored, bloodthirsty friends visiting, having Dark Legacy around would definitely be an asset.

The lack of moves, strategy, and a two-player mode limits the game's appeal.

From a gameplay standpoint, the game falls flat.
Steel Soldiers Review
Without exceptional gameplay or style, Steel Soldiers ends up as a fairly formulaic real-time strategy game.
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2 Review
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2 for the Game Boy Advance is a surprisingly good interpretation of its console counterpart.
Escape from Monkey Island Review
The game features plenty of great-looking scenery, memorable characters, and funny dialogue.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Review
The development team at Vicarious Visions has captured the essence of THPS2 and, outside of a few necessary changes, has delivered most of what made the console versions of Tony Hawk 2 such classics.
Bowling Review
It comes as no surprise that the $10 you would spend on purchasing this game would be better spent on several games at a real bowling alley.
Tribes 2 Review
Tribes 2 isn't easy to master, and it won't play well on every gaming PC, but when you're up and running it's a tremendous amount of fun.
High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 Review
As outstanding as the core elements of High Heat 2002 undoubtedly are, it's hard to emerge from an extended session of gameplay without some serious misgivings.
Kuru Kuru Kururin Import Review
IMPORT: Its premise is rather simple. You control a stick that spins at a constant speed, and you must maneuver this spinning stick through tightly designed mazes without touching the walls of the maze.
Rumble Racing Review
Rumble Racing looks good, moves fast, and is a blast to play, either by yourself or with a friend.
Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul Review
Hours will fly past as you progress from one exploit to another, hooked on the game's hack-and-slash formula.
Illbleed Review
The game puts even less of an emphasis on combat than Resident Evil-style games; instead it focuses more on the process of identifying, and subsequently neutralizing, traps.
Mickey's Speedway USA Review
Varied gameplay, diverse options, gorgeous visuals, and ample two-player support make Mickey's Speedway USA a class-A title.
Legend of the River King 2 Review
Although the game itself isn't overwhelmingly deep in terms of either fishing strategy or RPG intricacy, the incorporation of a number of Pokémon-inspired gameplay elements lends this easygoing adventure a charm that can't be overlooked.
Evil Dead: Hail to the King Review
Evil Dead: Hail to the King unfortunately offers little of the appeal of its source material, as everything about the game is derivative, boring, or just plain bad.
Rogue Spear Review
Rogue Spear isn't a bad game, and it makes do with what it has going for it.
The Simpsons Wrestling Review
In the end, wit and charm are the two most redeeming features of The Simpsons Wrestling, as it simply can't survive on its gameplay alone.
Spider-Man Review
Fans of the long-running comic series and players in search of the ever-elusive novel game would do themselves a favor by checking out Spider-Man.
Fate of the Dragon Review
Unless the historical Chinese context interests you, you'll find that Fate of the Dragon is just another real-time strategy game with nothing really outstanding to recommend it.
Spec Ops: Ranger Elite Review
The squad premise of the game serves only to throw a few meaningless options into an otherwise thin game.
High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 Review
The true-to-life ball physics and accurate attributes of the players in the game translate into fairly accurate statistics and situations on the field.
Pokémon Stadium 2 Review
If you do have a Transfer Pak, want to get more out of Gold or Silver, and enjoy a lot of battling, then Stadium 2 is a complete package and is definitely worth picking up.
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine Review
If it weren't for all of the pointless wandering and the lack of plot development, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine would have been a great game.
MTV Sports: T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX Review
Landing vert tricks and pulling off long grinds can be a chore, because the game has a seemingly random system of determining whether or not your bike is straight enough to land. A coin toss would be more predictable.
Smurf Racer Review
Younger gamers will enjoy racing against the computer or with a friend, while the more experienced will breeze through the game in no time flat.
Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns Review
Kohan's few shortcomings don't diminish the fact that it brings together a variety of proven concepts to offer a real-time strategy experience unlike any other.
The Sims: House Party Review
House Party's new features, which focus primarily on social interaction, enhance the basic game considerably, since they let you throw wild parties and make building houses even more enjoyable.

Dance Dance Revolution is a great introduction to a truly unique series with incredibly addictive gameplay and a soundtrack that will have you humming for days.
Shadow of Destiny Review
The original structure and narrative make Shadow of Destiny well worth playing, despite its minor flaws.
ESPN NBA 2Night Review
Although NBA 2Night shows potential as the first game in Konami's new basketball series, it doesn't excel in any specific category and thus finds itself a step behind EA's NBA Live series.
Army Men World War: Final Front Review
Buried under the layers of poor visuals and rough control, there is indeed an engaging, playable game.
All Star Baseball 2002 Review
This latest rendition sticks to the basic things that have made the series great, making it worthwhile even for those who aren't fans of the older games.
Triple Play Baseball Review
Triple Play Baseball is a solid baseball game that is suited for players who enjoy lots of deep drives, home runs, and fast-paced action.
MDK2 Armageddon Review
PS2 owners who haven't played any other version of MDK2 should be pleased with the game, and Dreamcast owners who couldn't muster the dedication to complete the game might want to see what they missed on the PS2.

If you like Diablo, you'll like Lodoss. If not, steer clear.
Game Room Review
It's a decent value for players looking for computer versions of the real-life games.
Tech Deck Skateboarding Review
Tech Deck Skateboarding is a solid video game re-creation of the uniquely hands-on Tech Deck experience.
Strikers 1945 Review
Psikyo's take on the classic conventions strike as true as most modern attempts, and the fans of such games should welcome the results.
Quake III Revolution Review
Quake III Revolution makes do with what it has to work with and manages to put on a pretty good show.
Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble Review
Yes, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble is a gimmicky game, but it's a gimmicky game done well.
X-COM: Enforcer Review
On its own terms, Enforcer is a fast-paced and rather fun shooter, though it'll prove too easy for veteran players.
Batman: Chaos in Gotham Review
Batman: Chaos in Gotham does well by following a storyline that would have appeared in the comic book or animated series and dressed it up with an assortment of gaming styles and a deep level of control.
Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths & Legends Review
As an action game, Roswell Conspiracies is rather basic, but the plot is certainly fanciful enough to appeal to less discerning consumers.
The Adventures of Cookie & Cream Review
The Adventures of Cookie & Cream from Agetec is a game that deviates from the norm.
KISS Pinball Review
KISS fans will be disappointed by the distinct lack of KISS, and pinball fans will be disappointed by the distinct lack of pinball.
Cossacks: European Wars Review
If you don't mind another variation on an oft-played theme, Cossacks has more than enough variety to ensure fun empire building and colorful clashes.
Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage Review
The developers fared well in bringing some role-playing game conventions into the third dimension, but they weren't as successful with others.
Dr. Mario 64 Review
Dr. Mario is a legitimate and satisfying puzzle game that is executed rather nicely in this four-player-focused package.
The Moon Project Review
Fans of the series will be able to dive right into the game and won't be disappointed.
Iron Aces Review
Iron Aces tries a little too hard to please the simulation and action crowd simultaneously.
Triple Play Baseball Review
The game turns the single most challenging action in sports into child's play.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula Review
There is no evidence to suggest that children would actually enjoy playing a game this unremarkable--let alone adults.
NBA Hoopz Review
NBA Showtime fans may enjoy Hoopz, but the game would have benefited from an honest-to-goodness arcade mode and a speed setting, if not faster overall gameplay.
NBA Live 2001 Review
The new edition of NBA Live doesn't really offer much in the way of new features--but it's still one of the best basketball games available.
Surf Rocket Racers Review
Surf Rocket Racers is what happens when a game developer takes a stock game formula and simply goes nowhere with it.
Europa Universalis Review
Once you get past the initial shock of how big and occasionally unwieldy the game is, you'll find that the detailed mechanics work to produce an unparalleled level of depth.
Star Trek Away Team Review
It's a linear, repetitive, tedious game that ignores almost every lesson it should have learned from previous, more successful tactical combat games.
Dragon's Lair Review
Eighteen years later, it's still a refreshingly innovative game.
Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt Review
Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt is a fun and exciting sportslike game that lives up the TV show's madcap, albeit sometimes violent, reputation.
NBA Hoopz Review
If it weren't for its abhorrent background music, tinny sound effects, and lack of a two-player feature, NBA Hoopz would be a glowing addition to the Game Boy Color's library.
Vanishing Point Review
Vanishing Point is one of the most original and enjoyable racing games to come around in a long time.
Scooby-Doo! Classic Creep Capers Review
The game is brief, but the tale it tells provides plenty of classic Scooby-Doo antics.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001 Review
If golf isn't golf for you without those PGA masters and true-to-life courses, then Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001 may meet your needs.
Metal Slug X Review
The Metal Slug games represent a high watermark for arcade side-scrolling shooter graphics, and the PlayStation port of X does not disappoint.
Colin McRae Rally 2.0 Review
If you can work your way around its shortcomings, you'll find that Colin McRae Rally 2.0 is one of the most engrossing racing sims available.
Ford Racing Review
The poor AI and the limitations presented by the sole Ford license in particular keep it from being a truly entertaining game overall.
Crime Cities Review
After you play it for a while, you'll realize that all of its visual details don't amount to very much.
Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 Review
Those who've found previous versions of the series to be underwhelming won't have their opinions changed by this latest installment.
Disney's The Little Mermaid II Pinball Frenzy Review
Disney's The Little Mermaid II Pinball Frenzy is little more than a remake of Pokémon Pinball, minus Pikachu and his cohorts.
Disney's Donald Duck Goin' Quackers Review
The DC version of this graphically intensive platform adventure is sometimes fun but gets very old very quickly.
Sgt. Rock: On the Frontline Review
Classic gaming fanatics will eat it up, but fussier gamers would be more satisfied elsewhere.
Disney's Donald Duck - Goin' Quackers Review
Children will enjoy the lively adventures of Donald Duck, and some of those who enjoyed the DuckTales animated series and are looking for a comical Disney romp will want to pick this up.
Ground Control: Dark Conspiracy Review
Dark Conspiracy fundamentally remains the same great strategy game as its predecessor.
Mega Man X5 Review
Fans of the classic 2D games will no doubt find much to love in X5, while those who can't get into the aging conventions and mechanics probably won't care a great deal for it.
NASCAR Heat Review
NASCAR Heat isn't quite the all-encompassing racing simulation that Electronic Arts' NASCAR 2001 is, but features like the beat the heat mode make the game worthwhile for any NASCAR fan.
Looney Tunes Racing Review
Looney Tunes Racing has a way to go before it can stack up to the big boys.
NBA Live 2001 Review
By far, it's the best basketball game - pros or otherwise - on the PlayStation 2.
Riddle of the Sphinx Review
Riddle of the Sphinx makes up for its technical shortcomings with a great location and an impressive amount of detail.
Action Man: Search For Base X Review
While the game could be a touch easier and a tad less repetitive, it's still a fine addition to the 2D action genre.
Star Wars: Battle for Naboo Review
Battle for Naboo delivers a fun, but ultimately short, gaming experience.
Triple Play Baseball Review
Triple Play Baseball is one of those rare games that really draws you into the experience with fantastic gameplay and quality graphics and sound.
NBA Hoopz Review
NBA Hoopz for the Dreamcast is the same old song and dance that Midway has been perpetuating for years now.
Toy Story Racer Review
It's no Crash Team Racing, but Toy Story Racer provides plenty of challenge for young and old alike.
NBA ShootOut 2001 Review
The gameplay system in NBA ShootOut 2001 generally coaxes the player into fast-break basketball.
NBA Hoopz Review
While still fun in head-to-head situations, the few added features can't mask the fact that NBA Hoopz is basically the same exact game as last year's NBA Showtime.
Unison Review
The fatal flaw in Unison is the unforgivably shallow gameplay.
Ducati World Racing Challenge Review
Ducati World Racing Challenge makes a good effort at providing the kind of gameplay and variety that racing fanatics desire.
Project S-11 Review
Project S-11 is about the best the GBC is going to see in terms of space shooters.
Toy Story Racer Review
The 3D visuals and cartoon-style charm contained within Toy Story Racer do make it an excellent choice for children, Disney fans, or Game Boy fanatics who enjoy visual gimmicks.
Unreal Tournament Review
Quake III Arena on the Dreamcast may offer more visceral gameplay, but Unreal Tournament is the most complete package yet.
Knockout Kings 2001 Review
Knockout Kings 2001 is more of a hitting simulation than a boxing simulation, which is a complete turnoff for die-hard boxing fans who want realism.
RC Revenge Pro Review
Somehow, somewhere, the PlayStation 2 port of RC Revenge Pro took a wrong turn.
NASCAR Heat Review
If you've ever wondered what Micro Machines would be like with NASCAR drivers, Majesco's NASCAR Heat is the answer.
Age of Sail II Review
Despite the very solid design and some outstanding features and gameplay elements, you might be very frustrated with Age of Sail II because of all its technical problems.
Animorphs: Shattered Reality Review
If there's a silver lining to Animorphs: Shattered Reality, it's that it would make an excellent game for children who aren't yet old enough to tackle the meatier fare of "real" video games.
The Dukes of Hazzard II: Daisy Dukes It Out Review
Rabid Dukes of Hazzard fans may enjoy the game, but game players with more discerning tastes probably won't.

If you could find someone to play it with, the multiplayer mode could offer a few mindless thrills.
Speed Devils Online Review
Those who are looking for another game to play online with the Dreamcast should consider picking up this one.
Bang! Gunship Elite Review
Red Storm hasn't done anything wrong with Bang! Gunship Elite, but the elimination of the multiplayer features found in the PC version of the game limits its appeal.
Blues Brothers 2000 Review
The 3D-action category is a competitive one on the Nintendo 64, and Blues Brothers lacks any special features that would make it noteworthy.
Airforce Delta Review
About the only people capable of enjoying Airforce Delta will be Afterburner or Blue Lightning junkies seeking their latest pseudo-3D flying fix.
Xtreme Sports Review
If you're in the mood for a game where each event is reasonably well designed and integrated into a greater, meatier whole, then Infogrames' Xtreme Sports should prove satisfying.
The Next Tetris: On-Line Edition Review
The game itself isn't terrible, but unless you are absolutely aching to exercise the online capabilities of your Dreamcast, there is really no reason to pick up this game.
Speedball 2100 Review
Even though it's not quite up to prevailing standards, Speedball 2100 still packs quite a bit of wallop.
F1 Championship Season 2000 Review
F1 Championship Season 2000 is about what you'd expect: An arcade-style racing game with a simulation twist that's amply capable of satisfying the F1 fan's pocket-gaming needs.
Hercules: The Legendary Journey Review
Hercules isn't godly, but as a whole it's a decent adventure.
Rowan's Battle of Britain Review
It delivers almost everything a fan of the genre could ask for: immersion, attention to detail, visual appeal, and--above all--truly realistic and intense flight combat.
Thandor: The Invasion Review
The problem with Thandor: The Invasion is that its lack of creativity extends into every single part of the game.
Metal Walker Review
Metal Walker is a more than worthwhile endeavor for anyone that is in between Pokémon games.
Polaris SnoCross Review
Unless you're desperate for anything snowmobile-ish, keep a safe distance away from this dud.
The Mummy Review
Fans of spatially oriented puzzle games won't christen it the second coming of Solomon's Key, but there's enough challenge and intelligence within each of The Mummy's 46 stages to keep most people occupied for a goodly amount of time.
Real Pool Review
Real Pool offers most of the same elements as Q-Ball Billiards Master, but it goes about it in a bare-bones way.
Starfleet Command Volume II: Empires at War Review
For all the changes in Starfleet Command Volume II, it's basically just a slightly improved version of the original.
102 Dalmatians Puppies To The Rescue Review
Younger children will be delighted to be at the controls, but seasoned gamers will want to look elsewhere for a more polished and challenging experience.
Star Wars Demolition Review
Star Wars Demolition might seem like some half-baked attempt to cash in on the Star Wars license, though it's actually a competently executed game.
Call to Power II Review
Call to Power II is definitely a superior game to Civilization: Call to Power, which should be enough to recommend it to those players who did enjoy the previous game.
Chicken Run Review
Chicken Run can be fun, if not particularly involving nor challenging, and kids should have a good time with it.
NHL FaceOff 2001 Review
NHL FaceOff 2001 follows in the dubious footsteps of NFL GameDay and stands as a poster child for uninspired next-generation game development.
The Grinch Review
Die-hard action-game players will find the game far too easy and much too tedious to be of any real value, but children and Dr. Seuss fans should be well satisfied.
ATV Offroad Fury Review
ATV Offroad Fury delivers a game that adheres to a more arcade style of gameplay, with a definite focus on fast, simplified gameplay mechanics and big, big air.
Mega Man 64 Review
Those who missed out on the PlayStation version could still find a good bit of entertainment value here, but this dated title simply can't compete on the same level as current software.
Championship Motocross 2001 Featuring Ricky Carmichael Review
It's a solid game that's fun to watch, but it's no longer the only game in town.
Dinosaur Review
What could have been a decent game is marred by lackluster execution.
IHRA Drag Racing Review
Because of all the game's problems, it seems likely that not many players will stick with it long enough to enjoy it.
Gold & Glory: The Road to El Dorado Review
Gold & Glory: The Road to El Dorado is a simplistic, extremely short experience, with abundant flaws that outweigh its few redeeming features.
Airfix Dogfighter Review
Though traditional flight simulation fans may be turned off by its unrealistic design, there's no denying that Airfix Dogfighter delivers a fun gaming experience.
Bugs & Taz: Time Busters Review
Bugs & Taz: Time Busters does an excellent job of capturing the humor and personality that the Looney Tunes franchise embodies.
Combat Command 2: Danger Forward! Review
Combat Command 2 concentrates on taking the fundamentals of wargaming and making them easy to manipulate in a computer game.
ESPN MLS GameNight Review
Konami has gone to great lengths to integrate two- and four-player capability into each of the game's non-season modes, which opens up the possibility of introducing your sports-phobic friends to a soccer game they can actually play.
Aqua Aqua Review
Aqua Aqua for the PlayStation 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed Wetrix for the Nintendo 64, is basically the same game released three years later, but it still represents a refreshing change for the puzzle genre.
Kingdom Under Fire Review
Flaws in the computer's artificial intelligence, the lack of a convenient save feature, and an overall lack of originality all serve to drastically weaken the game.
Mayday Review
It offers nothing that hasn't been done much better by any number of other real-time strategy games released long ago.
Championship Surfer Review
Championship Surfer has seven modes of play, but none offer any real incentive to keep you playing the game past the first few beaches.
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX Review
While the PlayStation version managed to be a fairly inoffensive game, the Dreamcast version's graphical flaws manage to wreck anything the game has going for it, leaving behind an ugly, unplayable mess.
Muppet Monster Adventure Review
Muppet Monster Adventure is one of the rare breed of titles that's well-suited for grown-ups and children alike.
Chicken Run Review
While those who are fans of the film might find some redeeming quality in Chicken Run, most should definitely avoid it.
Sea Dogs Review
Sea Dogs turns out to be more than the sum of its parts, and its effective combination of three genres makes for an adventure that can be enthralling despite its many problems.
NCAA Final Four 2001 Review
NCCA Final Four 2001 features relatively entertaining arcade-style hoops action, but the game's subpar graphics, lack of options, annoying control flaws, and lack of on-court atmosphere keep it from meeting those expectations.
Chicken Run Review
While those who are fans of the film might find some redeeming quality in Chicken Run, most should definitely avoid it.
Power Spike Pro Beach Volleyball Review
Power Spike Pro Beach Volleyball makes a good attempt, but its inconsistencies and shoddy control detract from the overall experience.
Sheep Review
Sheep offers a lot of bang for your puzzle-game buck.
Bust A Move Dance Summit 2001 Import Review
IMPORT: If you can disregard the single-minded soundtrack and the shallow gameplay, Dance Summit 2001 can provide some interesting Japanese-laced entertainment.
Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 Review
If you look up the definition of the word "poor" in a dictionary, there's a good chance you'll see Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 staring back at you.
Rogue Spear Review
If multiplayer is not a big factor for you, Rogue Spear's single-player game is certainly worth the price of admission.
Championship Surfer Review
While far from perfect, it is easily the best surfing game on the market, but more importantly, it's also a fun game.
Evil Dead: Hail to the King Review
It's hard to believe that the survival-horror genre can only be done right by Capcom (and perhaps Konami), but Hail to the King will do little to convince you otherwise.
King of Fighters '99 Evolution Review

FoxKids.com Micro Maniacs Racing Review
When all is said and done, Micro Maniacs is just another Micro Machines game.

Sierra's latest gambling game in the popular Hoyle series offers everything you would expect from a solid and addictive virtual casino game.
MTV Sports: Skateboarding Featuring Andy Macdonald Review
MTV Sports: Skateboarding Featuring Andy Macdonald serves no other purpose than to act as an excellent example of how not to make a skateboarding game.

Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits Volume I Review
While the gameplay is on par with the original versions of the games, the original versions managed to look and sound a bit better than Midway's N64 renditions.
Disney's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers Review

Pokémon Puzzle Challenge Review
Pokémon Puzzle Challenge is a game that does the Pokémon license proud.
Road Champs BXS Stunt Biking Review
Surprisingly, the game isn't just an attempt to cash in on a passing trend - it's also a decent addition to any stunt-bike aficionado's collection.
Coaster Works Review
Coaster Works is by no means a bad roller coaster simulator, but it's not an outstanding one either.
Fur Fighters Review
While the game has its merits, it really doesn't have the firepower necessary to make an impact in the PC shooter market.
Gundam Battle Assault Review
Gundam Battle Assault isn't a good enough game to live on its own - the fighting is competent, but hardly compelling for any length of time, and the story mode is completely uninteresting.
Microsoft Casino Review
Instead of offering a robust gambling simulation that'll help you hone your craft for a trip to a real casino, Microsoft Casino aims to re-create the Las Vegas experience itself.
Frogger 2 Review
Puzzle gamers looking for a quality weekend rental need look no further than Frogger 2.
102 Dalmatians Puppies To The Rescue Review

Vanishing Point is an excellent racing game marred by the developer's attempts to overcomplicate things.
Championship Surfer Review
While far from perfect, it is easily the best surfing game on the market, but more importantly, it's also a fun game.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf Review
Those simply looking for a good PlayStation golf game are better off looking at the Hot Shots series than picking up this antiquated, middle-of-the-road golf game.

Torneko is a charming little adventure that manages to push the nostalgia button without feeling overly dated.

NCAA Final Four 2001 Review
Considering its glaring gameplay flaws, it's hard to recommend NCAA Final Four 2001.
Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness Review
It ultimately does what few updated classics do well, bringing new concepts to a well known game while keeping the fun and magic of the original game.
F1 Championship Season 2000 Review
F1 Championship Season 2000 may not be the deepest game in terms of overall features, but it still has enough inherent playability to warrant the attention of both veteran and casual game players alike.

NCAA GameBreaker 2001 Review
Those of you who've played Madden for the PlayStation 2 and are expecting NCAA GameBreaker 2001 to be a similarly fantastic game will be terribly disappointed.
Guitar Freaks 3rd Mix & DrumMania 2nd Mix Import Review
IMPORT - Guitar Freaks 3rd Mix & DrumMania 2nd Mix is a value-packed collection perfectly suited for fans of either game, but one that really shines when you play in session mode.
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine Review
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine is a big game, to be sure, with enough levels to keep you busy over a three-day rental period.

Harley-Davidson: Wheels of Freedom Review
If you're looking for high-performance motorcycle racing on the PC, you'll tap this one out in very short order.
Motocross Mania Review
If you're a fan of motocross, then Motocross Mania would make a great addition to your collection.

Spider-Man Review
Though the game isn't perfect, it is a wonderful accomplishment on the part of the developers, and it is simply very fun to play.

Razor Freestyle Scooter Review

Virtual Pool 3 Review
You can't find a pool sim that looks and plays as much like the real thing as Virtual Pool 3 does.
Gunman Chronicles Review
Though it's worth considering that this game was essentially developed by a group of amateur designers, there are many first-person shooters available that are much more worthwhile.
Powerpuff Girls: Bad Mojo Jojo Review
Fans of the Cartoon Network's Powerpuff Girls series will ultimately be disappointed by Bad Mojo Jojo since the game is extremely simple and boring.

Ready 2 Rumble: Round 2 has more boxers and moves than the first game, but aside from a few slight changes here and there, the game remains largely unchanged.
Maximum Pool Review
If you're looking for something to play online, Maximum Pool does the job, albeit without any bells or whistles.
F1 Championship Season 2000 Review
It enhances a number of the original game's features, adds a handful of new ones, and, ultimately, it will undoubtedly please racing enthusiasts and interested beginners alike.
Battle Isle: The Andosia War Review
The game's incomplete interface, uneven pacing, and typical units all serve to make it less interesting than it might have been.
ESPN NBA 2Night Review
NBA 2Night is an admirable first effort, but the game feels unfinished in almost every aspect, particularly on the court.
Theme Park Roller Coaster Review
Sim fans should get a major kick out of Theme Park Roller Coaster.
Frogger 2 Review
If NES-caliber sound and graphics wrapped around one of the most memorable classic games fills you with nostalgia, then Frogger 2 for the Game Boy Color is right up your alley.
Timeline Review
The game is far too short, and the puzzles would be easy for even the most novice gamers.
WCW Backstage Assault Review
It's hard to recommend a wrestling game that doesn't contain any actual in-the-ring wrestling.
Blade Review
Activision has enjoyed a pretty strong track record when it comes to translating comic books and movies into game form, but it's failed on both accounts here.
X-Men: Mutant Wars Review
X-Men: Mutant Wars is an archetypical example of a good idea executed badly.
Sin and Punishment Import Review
IMPORT: Sin and Punishment is a lot of fun, but the game's complete lack of difficulty and fairly short length really hurt it.
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX Review
It may not be perfect, but Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX plays well and looks awesome - two traits that will no doubt put it under many a tree this holiday season.
Dino Crisis Review
Though it has some startling moments and a few fun sections, it's mostly just a mediocre version of a mediocre game.
Star Wars: Episode I: Battle for Naboo Review
Even with the graphical faults and the general lack of innovation over its predecessor, Battle for Naboo is still a fun mission-based shooter, as well as one of the best Episode I titles to hit the market yet.
ECW Anarchy Rulz Review
If you're new to the scene or you enjoyed last year's ECW Hardcore Revenge, Anarchy Rulz should keep you occupied until the next installment.
B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th Review
This ambitious game actually isn't so much a flight simulation as it is a role-playing game that takes place aboard a bomber.
Gradius III & IV Review
Anyone looking for a solid side-scrolling shooter would do well to pick up this game.
Donkey Kong Country Review
Donkey Kong Country is one of the most playable and replayable Game Boy Color games ever created.

Though FIFA 2001 is a solid enough game in its own right, the game's lack of innovation or significant upgrades keeps it from having the same impact as FIFA 2000.
Hoyle Card Games Review
If you're a fan of playing cards, Hoyle Card Games will inevitably keep you occupied for hours on end.
Urban Chaos (DC) Review
Somewhere inside the Dreamcast version of Urban Chaos is a decent game, struggling to escape. But the layers and layers of flaws completely negate any strong points the game could have had.
MechWarrior 4: Vengeance Review
It's a fantastic introduction to the MechWarrior series for those who haven't yet discovered it, and should have enough depth to keep veterans involved for a long time.
Army Men Sarge's Heroes Review
The Dreamcast version of Army Men Sarge's Heroes is an engaging, albeit dated entry into the 3D action combat genre.
Cruis'n Exotica Review
While the game is lacking in terms of overall gameplay, visual quality, and sound depth, there is never any doubt that you're playing a Cruis'n game.
Hoyle Word Games Review
If you like wordplay, and you don't already have a CD-ROM collection of word games, then this is the package to get.
Contender 2 Review
Contender 2 is a much more enjoyable arcade-style boxing game than its processor, and fans of the original game, as well as fans of the genre, will undoubtedly enjoy it.

F1 Championship Season 2000 Review

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Review
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis remains a very worthwhile game even though not much has been added to the translation.
Looney Tunes Racing Review
While a solid offering that represents its respective license quite well, Looney Tunes Racing isn't the genre-busting piece of software that a last-generation game is supposed to be.
ESPN X-Games Snowboarding Review
Those who may be looking for another SSX will certainly be disappointed by X-Games' sim-styled approach, but those who are looking for a true-to-life snowboarding experience will be overjoyed.
Zeus: Master of Olympus Review
Zeus is a major improvement for Impressions' line of city-building games, and it's a significant advancement for city-building games in general.
WCW Backstage Assault Review
EA's Backstage Assault is a novel idea, but in the end, it doesn't have enough variation to make it worthwhile.
Alice In Wonderland Review
In execution, Alice offers some of the best graphics and gameplay ever seen on a portable system.
Sonic Shuffle Review
The combination of the unbearable load times, the smattering of minigames, and the poor minigame design make Sonic Shuffle a boring diversion at best.
ESPN The Games: International Track & Field Review
International Track & Field is an excellent title.
Mike Tyson's Boxing Review
Mike Tyson's Boxing just doesn't have the depth of Knockout Kings or the immediate satisfaction found from the arcade style of play in Ready 2 Rumble.
Army Men: Air Attack 2 Review
Army Men: Air Attack 2 is a whole lot of fun while it lasts.
Heroes Chronicles: Conquest of the Underworld Review
The gameplay in Conquest of the Underworld is very formulaic, despite the generally high quality of the map designs.
Rune Review
The simplistic melee combat system combined with weak enemy artificial intelligence makes Rune an ultimately shallow and repetitious experience.
Blair Witch Volume 2: The Legend of Coffin Rock Review
Though Blair Witch Volume 2 is not particularly scary, it has a fairly interesting story that's paced briskly.
Smuggler's Run Review
The basic rule is drive fast and furious, and most of all, don't get caught.
NBA Live 2001 Review
NBA Live 2001 follows the fine tradition established by previous versions while adding just about every conceivable gameplay option.
The Devil Inside Review
The game's story and adventure elements aren't very interesting in themselves, and the novelty of the TV-show premise gets old soon enough.
Big Mountain 2000 Review
The game may look dated and lack a backbone, but it is actually fun to play once you get into it.
X-Squad Review
If it weren't for the overly touchy control and the game's overall lack of difficulty and length, X-Squad could have been a contender.
McGrath vs. Pastrana Freestyle Motocross Review
McGrath vs. Pastrana Freestyle Motocross is the primary candidate for an award no video game wants to win, the uninspired game of the year award.
Knockout Kings 2001 Review
Knockout Kings 2001 is easily the best iteration of the series thus far, thanks to improved AI, cleaner graphics, and tighter controls.
Links 2001 Review
It'll definitely please Links fans, especially once the promised course-converter becomes available.
Mickey's Speedway USA Review
With 20 tracks, four battle arenas, and a plenitude of hidden characters and cheats to unlock, Mickey's Speedway USA has enough substance to keep even the most dedicated kart racing fanatics coming back for more.
Quake III Arena Review
Quake III Arena for the Dreamcast marks one of the few times that a PC first-person shooter has moved over to a console system without sacrificing much of its playability or options.
Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars Review
It completely reinvigorates the original game by adding four new car types, 20 racetracks, and a host of updated graphics and gameplay mechanics.
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Review
Experienced and discerning gamers would do well to steer clear of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, as the game is simplistic and light.
Pac-Man: Adventures in Time Review
Adventures in Time is an attempt to bring Pac-Man back to his roots, but with surprisingly solid 3D graphics, good level design, and a few new gameplay features.
Crash Bash Review
Those who don't already have a Multitap and aren't looking to buy one will definitely want to take a pass on this thoroughly mediocre party game.
Cool Boarders 2001 Review
From both a technical and aesthetic standpoint, Cool Boarders 2001 is like a winter without snow - a drag.
Escape from Monkey Island Review
Veterans of the Monkey Island series will surely enjoy the game in spite of its occasional problems.
Silent Scope Review
The added training mode in the home version doesn't make up for the fact that you can master the game in less than a day.
Madden NFL 2001 Review
Madden 2001 is the most realistic and complete video game interpretation of the sport of football ever.
Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge Review
Puzzle gamers looking for a quality weekend rental need look no further than Frogger 2.

NBA ShootOut 2001 Review
989 has opted to take the easy road this time around, and the result is a basketball game that remains virtually unchanged from last year's version.
Starship Troopers Review
Each level becomes an exercise in simply marching your squad around the map and watching your troops gun down any bugs that get in your way.
Sega Marine Fishing Review
While the game may not hold up in terms of long-lasting value, those looking for a quick fishing fix without getting dirty will be more than pleased with this offering.
Breakout Review
If you still don't have your Atari 2600 lying around and you miss this sort of simplistic fun, Breakout may be worth a rental.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Review
While it may lack some of the visual flare of today's PC games, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 more than makes up for it with its outstanding gameplay.
Rollcage Stage II Review
The game may not have the lasting appeal of Psygnosis' Wipeout or Namco's Ridge Racer, but it has enough gameplay, eye candy, and bonus secrets to put it near the top of what the PlayStation has to offer.
Blair Witch Volume 1: Rustin Parr Review
Rustin Parr won't take you very long to finish, but it will give you a few good scares along the way.
MTV Sports: Pure Ride Review
MTV: Pure Ride is an excellent snowboarding game, but it's yet another example of a development house shifting the majority of its resources to the next generation of hardware.
RPG Maker Review
Knowing off the bat that your experience with RPG Maker will frequently have you elbow-deep in the most hostile of interfaces - scripting events, penning text, or what have you - will most adequately prepare you for the rigors of RPG making.
You Don't Know Jack: Mock 2 Review
You Don't Know Jack: Mock 2 is instant fun for just about anyone that likes trivia.
Driver 2 Review
If you're up for a challenge and enjoy racing games even a little, then you'll find that Driver 2 is an extraordinary game.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001 Review
PGA Tour 2001 isn't a major step for the series, but its vast number of top-notch courses will make it worthwhile for many golf sim players.
Cannon Spike Review
It won't keep you entertained forever, but if you can get around its lack of length, Cannon Spike delivers.
The World is not Enough Review
The World Is Not Enough provides an engaging experience but fails to match the gameplay finesse of GoldenEye.
Delta Force: Land Warrior Review
If you want to mow down terrorists using the latest firearms in a variety of colorful settings, then this is your game.
Heroes Chronicles: Warlords of the Wasteland Review
You'll wish there were more to the first Heroes Chronicles game than just a series of missions stitched together by a nice short story.
4x4 Evolution Review
While 4x4 Evolution opts for fun over realism, it's a trade-off that you'll probably appreciate as soon as you take the game for a spin.
ESPN The Games: International Track & Field Review
As the PlayStation 2's only current track and field game, International Track & Field is an excellent first attempt.
Galaga: Destination Earth Review
Of all the old-school to 3D remakes, Galaga: Destination Earth may be the most uninspired.
NFL GameDay 2001 Review
Those who've seen and played Madden on the PlayStation 2 will immediately see the difference and recognize that NFL GameDay 2001 is merely a PlayStation game posing as a PlayStation 2 product.
NASCAR 2001 Review
Despite a lack of visual refinement, NASCAR 2001 is definitely a game that's worth owning.
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 Review
Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 is a solid arcade-style boxing game, and like most arcade games, it wears thin fairly quickly.
Deep Raider Review
There is no reason whatsoever for you to purchase or play Deep Raider.
NBA 2K1 Review
Visual Concepts has tweaked and buffed out the annoying gameplay traits that plagued its original hoops game, and the result is a highly polished product.
Star Wars: Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles Review
Jedi Power Battles is a reasonably fun game if you're a fan of Star Wars or if you're into vegetating in front of a standard action game for a few minutes at a time (or especially if you're both).
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 Review
Since the game's AI is relatively simple, you'll quickly learn all of the little tricks that'll lead you to a win with little or no thought put into it at all, which ultimately makes R2RB: R2 a game that's better suited for rental than purchase.
Death Track Racing Review
The game is nearly as much fun as its predecessor, Rollcage.
G-Saviour (Import) Review
IMPORT: The game seems to have lost its focus and ends up somewhere between the "free run" Armored Core type of mech action game and the "free floating" Omega Boost type.
Wizards & Warriors Review
Wizards & Warriors suffers from a handful of problems that compromise an otherwise solid role-playing game.
Railroad Tycoon II Review
Solid gameplay, numerous options, and attention to detail make Railroad Tycoon II an excellent simulation.
Spin Jam Review
Spin Jam is decidedly unique, and it may make a good purchase for puzzle fans looking for something fresh.
NHL 2001 Review
While it's not the most beautiful hockey video game, NHL 2001 comes through where it counts - the gameplay.
World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks Review
World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks for the PlayStation does not suffice in any facet of its execution and should be avoided by even the most fervent vehicular combat fans.
Ogre Battle 64 Review
Ogre Battle 64 offers a detailed branching story and great depth of customization, both executed brilliantly within the limitations of a 35-meg cartridge.
Demolition Racer: No Exit Review
Infogrames has lifted a formerly average game on the PlayStation to greatness on the Dreamcast.
The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing for Home Review
It's incredibly short, has awful car physics and poor graphics, and nobody cared enough to even implement joystick support.
NFL Blitz 2001 Review
NFL Blitz 2001 for Dreamcast is a worthy update and a giant step above the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 versions of the same name.
NFL Blitz 2001 Review
Once again, Midway delivers a rock-solid version of NFL Blitz for the Nintendo 64, equaling the PlayStation release in every respect while standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Dreamcast in a number of key areas.
Muppet Race Mania Review
Remove the Muppets from the racing mania, and you're left with no better than an average kart-racing game, which any discerning gamer knows are already plentiful.
Test Drive V-Rally Review
It's an inviting, fast-paced, technical rally game that offers enough replay value and features to satiate any racing audience.
Panzer General III: Scorched Earth Review
Panzer General III: Scorched Earth takes its predecessor's engine and simply shifts the setting of the game to the Eastern Front.
Sydney 2000 Review
Sydney 2000 is good enough to compete at the Olympic level as far as video games go - but it'll be hard-pressed to earn anything above a bronze medal.
Professional Bull Rider 2 Review
Professional Bull Rider 2 reuses most of the same exact graphics, music, voiceover, and gameplay as those of the previous game.
Midtown Madness 2 Review
If you want to play a very fun racing game, then Midtown Madness 2 is for you.
Destruction Derby Raw Review
Destruction Derby stands alone as the premier demolition racing series on the PlayStation.

Caesar's Palace 2000 Review
While the selection of gambling titles on the Dreamcast is slim in comparison to the PlayStation or the PC, the best bet for all involved would be to take your chips elsewhere.
Close Combat: Invasion Normandy Review
While the gameplay is mostly identical to the preceding games, all the intensity of the Close Combat system remains in Invasion Normandy.
Star Trek: New Worlds Review
The derivative action in New Worlds does only one thing well: It reminds you how exciting a well-designed real-time strategy game can be by comparison.
MTV Sports: Skateboarding Review
MTV Sports: Skateboarding is ultimately disappointing due to its average graphics, poor collision detection, and loose controls.
Homeworld: Cataclysm Review
Veterans of the first game will also be quick to notice some interface changes and gameplay enhancements. However, Homeworld's beautiful graphics, top-notch sound, and 3D play mechanics remain intact.
Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force Review
Star Trek fans shouldn't be alone in experiencing the game's exciting story-driven single-player campaign, as well as its solid multiplayer mode.

Although not without its flaws, Blaster Master's first foray into the 3D realm emerges a successful one.
Madden NFL 2001 Review

Blaster Master Enemy Below Review
With the addition of a password save feature and new weapons, Blaster Master Enemy Below seeks to deliver a refreshing twist on a revered classic.
Spawn Review
Fans of the Spawn comic book may enjoy this game for the simple fact that it's the prettiest Spawn game yet, but all others should rent with prejudice.
The Flintstones Bedrock Bowling Review
In the grand tradition of licensed games, this one also falls far short of being interesting or fun to play.
Who Wants to Beat Up a Millionaire Review
Who Wants to Beat Up a Millionaire is best reserved for those looking for a quick gag gift.
Disney's Dinosaur Review
It's nice to see a movie-licensed game that contains ambitious design elements, but Dinosaur never really comes together into something truly fun.

The only major flaw in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is that the game is a touch on the easy side.
Peter Jacobsen's Golden Tee Golf Review
Golden Tee Golf doesn't contain anything that warrants a recommendation.
Rally Masters: Michelin Race of Champions Review
On the surface, Rally Masters has everything needed to be a first-rate simulation, but you'll find that it can become frustrating on several different levels.
San Francisco Rush 2049 Review
Featuring a complete and functional version of the arcade game, plus a smattering of extra modes, Rush 2049's package is definitely the one to emulate.
Radio Control Racers Deluxe: Traxxas Edition Review
While the graphics and sound could have been better, the fast-paced gameplay and circuit options make the game interesting and enjoyable.
Tyco RC Assault with a Battery Review
Tyco RC stacks up well against the competition, but doesn't add any major innovations to the formula established by RC Revenge.
Countdown Vampires Review
The game is flawed on so many levels that only the most dedicated survival-horror fan might get some enjoyment out of it.
NFL QB Club 2001 Review
It's clear that NFL QB Club 2001 is trying to play catch up with Sega's NFL 2K series, and the way things stand, QB Club still has a lot of cleaning up to do before it can smell as rosy fresh as Sega's superior offerings.
NASCAR Heat Review
NASCAR Heat offers a brutally honest driving experience, but with simplistic damage modeling.
San Francisco Rush 2049 Review
Visually, aurally, and in terms of gameplay, there's nothing good about this version of Rush 2049.
Microsoft Golf 2001 Edition Review
The best thing about Microsoft Golf 2001 is its vast selection of courses.
Mario Tennis Review
Mario Tennis is a quality tennis presentation that strikes gold on the three points that matter most: value, gameplay, and fun.

Hidden and Dangerous for the Dreamcast does little to improve upon the same product presented for the PC.
Madden NFL 2001 Review
Madden NFL 2001 is arguably the most entertaining two-player sports game ever made.
NFL GameDay 2001 Review
In the end, GameDay 2001, aside from its obvious roster updates and a few minor additions, is totally identical to last year's title, which was a really good game.
Test Drive Cycles Review
In all, what really makes Cycles a good game is the balance of arcade-style gameplay and a lengthy championship mode.
Ultimate Fighting Championship Review
Overall, UFC successfully merges the ease of play you'd expect from a fighting game with the simulation aspects of a sports game.
Vanguard Bandits Review
This battlefield strategy RPG isn't for everyone, but if you're a strategy RPG fan that isn't too fussy about graphics, you'll be pleased.
NFL Blitz 2001 Review
NFL Blitz 2001 takes a low-key approach, delivering much the same features as last year's release while offering a number of minor refinements in key areas.
Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness Review
While Maze Madness may be overly easy for experienced gamers, the younger crowd and inexperienced gamers should have loads of fun with the game.
NFL 2K1 Review
In the end, NFL 2K1 is a deeper, more refined version of the original game.
Virtua Athlete 2000 Review
If you're not a huge fan of the game's seven track and field events or lack human competition to play with, the game will be nothing more than a weekend fantasy.
Perfect Dark Review
Perfect Dark GBC does its Nintendo 64 counterpart justice, albeit haphazardly.
Vampire Chronicles Review
Those who've played any game in the Darkstalkers series will feel right at home with Vampire Chronicles.
Maximum Pool Review
Maximum Pool's interface can prove to be very cumbersome, but if you can learn to tolerate how it plays, it's a great deal.

The flaws in the passing and running game prevent Madden 2001 from being completely enjoyable or realistic.

Competing in the game's events is time-consuming and often frustrating.

Bomberman Party Edition manages to succeed where many previous attempts have failed, delivering an uproariously enjoyable multiplayer experience.
NCAA GameBreaker 2001 Review
NCAA GameBreaker 2001 is basically the same as last year's model.
MTV Skateboarding Review
MTV Skateboarding is a perfect example of cashing in on a recently established genre, yet unlike games like Street Sk8er 2 or Grind Session, it doesn't bring anything worthwhile to the table.
Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits Volume 1 Review
If you're into classic arcade games, and you haven't already picked up this exact collection for the PlayStation or PC, this isn't a bad way to go.
Mr. Driller Review
As it stands, Mr. Driller is good enough to keep you interested for a week or so, but it lacks any long-term staying power.
Towers: Lord Baniff's Deceit Review
The average gamer just isn't going to find Towers' quest all that engaging or exciting.
Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Review
Despite being a rehash, Turok 3 is a well-balanced, varied platform gaming experience.
Rally Challenge 2000 Review
Rally Challenge 2000 is, at best, a marginal attempt to bring the excitement of off-road rally racing to the Nintendo 64.
The Ring: Terror's Realm Review

Toonsylvania Review
With so many exceptional Game Boy platformers on the market, one simply can't justify picking up Toonsylvania.
Toy Story 2 Review
Overall, Activision has done a decent, if uninspired, job of porting the game to yet another platform.
Deep Fighter Review
While Deep Fighter isn't destined for any awards, the game's intriguing storyline, solid gameplay, and sharp graphics make playing it a pleasurable experience.
Sega GT Review
Sega GT attempts to capture some of Gran Turismo's formula for the Dreamcast, but it ultimately falls short due to poor control and an unintuitive interface.
Grand Prix 3 Review
While it may not be everything that Grand Prix II players hoped for, it's still a reason for F1 fans to rejoice.
Polaris SnoCross Review
For snowmobile fans with a little extra cash to burn, Polaris SnoCross proves to be a rather entertaining diversion as long as you can accept its odd collision glitches.
Spider-Man Review
More fully realized than anything on the 8- or 16-bit systems, Spider-Man for the GBC is the game we all wish we had ten years ago - a totally convincing interpretation of Spidey for the handheld sector.
Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000 Review
Supercross 2000 squanders an opportunity to be something new, and instead gives us the same thing we've played plenty of times before.
ATV: Quad Power Racing Review
There may be some ATV enthusiasts out there who will get enough out of ATV: Quad Power Racing to warrant a rental.
Surf Riders Review
In the end, Surf Riders is a fun game with decent gameplay, but the shortage of modes, run-of-the-mill graphics, and lack of variety prevent Surf Riders from being to surf games what Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is to skateboarding games.
ECW Anarchy Rulz Review
While Anarchy Rulz bears the ECW logo, the wrestling action is simply too low impact and refined for the likes of this brutal organization.
Star Trek: Invasion Review
Despite the game's fluid control system and innovative lock-on features, its pacing and repetition simply mar the gameplay experience.
Sydney 2000 Review
If you buy into the whole button-mashing mentality of track and field games, you'll find that Sydney 2000 turns in a solid, finger-numbing performance.
Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000 Review
Jeremy McGrath is an unfortunate example of what happens when sports games fall into a rut.
The Sims: Livin' Large Review
Livin' Large adds more of the same to The Sims: more character skins, more career paths, more home furnishings, and more of the original game's quirky, sarcastic humor.
NCAA Football 2001 Review
Is NCAA 2001 different than last year's title, or the year before that? Nope, it's pretty much the same experience with a few new tricks.
Aerowings 2: Air Strike Review
Aerowings 2 boils down to excellent gameplay, copious replay, and creamy visuals, marred ever so slightly by chintzy music.
Ball Breakers Review
If you look past a painfully weak back story and the painfully simple graphics, you'll find there is an enjoyable game to be played in Ball Breakers.
Mag Force Racing Review
Wipeout fans would do well to give Mag Force Racing a shot, at least as an interim solution until Fusion hits.
Carmageddon 64 Review
Carmageddon 64 has absolutely nothing going for it, which makes you wonder why it ever made it this far in the first place.
Star Trek: Klingon Academy Review
It's an extremely ambitious simulation that provides plenty of original gameplay but fails to adequately refine its presentation.
Metal Fatigue Review
Despite its problems, fans of anime or mech games should find that Metal Fatigue is a fun, fast-paced real-time strategy game.
Pro Pinball: Big Race USA Review
Even if you're not well steeped in the world of video pinball, the game's $9.99 price makes it well worth checking out.
Sno-Cross Championship Racing Review
Sno-Cross Championship Racing, a quality game based entirely on snowmobile racing, proves that there's no good reason for the unvaried focus of today's racing games.
Warlocked Review
New or younger players should be able to look past the game's limitations and simply accept it as a simple but fun game.
Mr. Driller Review
If you're the type of person who can forgive a lack of features for an otherwise impeccable game, Mr. Driller might be a decent addition to your puzzle game library.
NASCAR 2000 Review
Offering 33 unique cars, 16 tracks, real-life drivers, a season mode, a variety of car-tuning options, and a two-player link-cable option, THQ has crammed a great deal into this pocket-sized beauty.
South Park Rally Review
Even though the Dreamcast may possess considerably more processing power under the hood than the Nintendo 64 or PlayStation, nothing seems to be able to hide the fact that South Park Rally is simply not a good game.
X-Men: Mutant Academy Review
While the "big brother" console release of X-Men: Mutant Academy may be at least tolerable, the Game Boy Color release falls flat.
Men In Black: The Series 2 Review
In all, Men In Black isn't a bad game, but it isn't entirely exciting.
Mortal Kombat Special Forces Review
Even at a semi-bargain price of $19.99, Mortal Kombat: Special Forces isn't worth your time, let alone your money.
Dark Reign 2 Review
Despite its powerful and extremely attractive 3D graphics engine, Dark Reign 2 ultimately fails to tread much new ground.
Warlords Battlecry Review
While Warlords Battlecry is evidently derivative of other fantasy-themed strategy games, its combination of elements taken from its predecessors makes the game unique in its own right.
Dogs of War Review
Dogs of War seems not only unpolished, but also unfinished.
Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2 Review
While it has some interesting sequences, and can be really enjoyable at times, more often F.A.K.K. 2 merely seems like the framework for a much better game.
Walt Disney World Quest - Magical Racing Tour Review
While it may be a Mario Kart clone, Magical Racing Tour does put forth a unique effort in two categories: graphics and sound.
NGEN Racing Review
While by no means a perfect product, NGEN does a good job of establishing an aspect of the racing genre that will obviously see many reinterpretations -here's to it being a blueprint for games to come.
Asterix: The Search for Dogmatix Import Review
IMPORT: Asterix: The Search for Dogmatix is one of the better combinations of platformer and plot to come out in recent years.
All-Star Baseball 2001 Review
Due to limitations in graphical and sound capabilities, handheld baseball titles still have a long way to go before they catch up to their console counterparts. Acclaim's All-Star Baseball 2001 is a step in the right direction.
Cotton (Import) Review
IMPORT: Though Cotton NGPC has lost some of the visual and audio splendor of the original, it still represents a shining example of the 2D-shooter genre.
Ultima Online: Renaissance Review
Ultima Online has finally reached the state it really should have been in when it was first released nearly three years ago.
Looney Tunes Collector: Alert! Review
Infogrames' Looney Tunes Collector: Alert! may not be Pokémon, but it's a finely polished puzzle-quest action-RPG nonetheless.
International Track & Field 2000 Review
After you've beaten the game several times, it's easy to see why Konami wanted this title to go straight to rental.
PGA European Tour Review
Dated graphics, gameplay flaws, and meager extras all conspire to bring down an otherwise average golf game.
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure Review
If you're the type of RPGer who commits to checking out the most nonstandard manifestations of the genre, then Rhapsody is definitely worth your attention.
Wacky Races Review
In every category, be it gameplay, sound, visuals, or replay, Infogrames' Wacky Races turns in a solid performance.
Nightmare Creatures 2 Review
Nightmare Creatures 2 is a good idea fumbling over itself to be better.
Triple Play 2001 Review
Triple Play 2001 is a perfect example of how good ideas can go horribly awry.
All Star Pro-Wrestling Import Review
IMPORT: The shoddy control scheme and sluggish gameplay are more than enough to keep the PlayStation 2's first wrestling game from being any fun.
Mask of Zorro Review
The history of gaming is full of poor movie adaptations, and the Mask of Zorro represents one more.
BreakNeck Review
BreakNeck's impressive selection of cars and tracks add value to what would otherwise be a straightforward racing game.
Crystalis Review
For a game developed more than ten years ago, Crystalis is still surprisingly relevant, and it's a testament to tight, polished RPG game design.
Striker Pro 2000 Review
Overall, this game warrants a solid score for its many attributes - decent artificial intelligence (especially the goalies), nice animation, entertaining play modes, and multiplayer. But unfortunately the automatic player-switching throws a wet blanket over the fun.
Striker Pro 2000 Review
With so much competition on the PS it's tough to recommend Striker Pro 2000 over FIFA or ISS.
Indy Racing 2000 Review
If you can overlook the muddy graphics, Indy Racing 2000 is surprisingly fun.
Xtreme Sports Review
Xtreme Sports is definitely going to be an unsung hit.
Army Men: Air Combat Review
With the addition of four-player multiplayer, Army Men: Air Combat is the best game to bear the Army Men name.
Grudge Warriors Review
If you're deathly bored, low on funds, and sick of every game your local video store stocks, then perhaps you'll want to check out Grudge Warriors.
Test Drive Le Mans Review
What you get with Test Drive Le Mans is the most solid GBC racing title to date. The features are thick, the gameplay is deep, and the level of replay isn't contrived.
The New York Times Crossword Puzzles - Review
The New York Times Crossword Puzzles is an electronic compilation of many of the hard-copy books you can get of these famous crosswords.
Expendable (PS) Review
When you get right down to it, Expendable is sheer, unadulterated shooting. Run through a bunch of levels, blow everything to bits, and try not to get shot.
Colony Wars: Red Sun Review
Thanks to a greater focus on plot development and presentation, Psygnosis delivers with Red Sun what is arguably the best Colony Wars title to date.
Runabout 2 Review
The Runabout series not only hasn't kept up with the times (Crazy Taxi is this type of game almost fully realized), it's lost a lot of what made it so appealing in the first place.
Hot Wheels Micro Racers Review
It takes the classic playtime activity of racing toy cars and adds 3D-accelerated graphics and artificial intelligence to create a fun arcade-style racing game.
Driver Review
Driving around is fun and exciting, the levels are varied, and the side games really do improve your skill within the main game.
Spec Ops: Stealth Patrol Review
Spec Ops: Stealth Patrol isn't the most spectacular game on the PlayStation, but it does deliver enough basic fundamentals like control, gameplay, and presentation to make it easily worth its special US$10 price tag.
Rainbow Six DC Review
As long as you're not expecting Quake III Arena and are ready for a steep learning curve, Rainbow Six is as deep and challenging as action games get.
Lemmings Revolution Review
The gradual learning curve, simple interface, and new features make it a great game for Lemmings novices and veterans alike.
The Road to El Dorado Review
While the game's plot and gameplay are standard, it's eye-candy that El Dorado excels in. Miguel and Tulio walk, jump, crawl, and meander with countless frames of animation.
Mr. Driller Review
Mr. Driller is a cute and quirky puzzler that lacks the variety to make it a long-term contender for your attention like a Puzzle Fighter or Tetris would. At a low price of $20, however, Mr. Driller is a worthwhile and refreshing return to the puzzle genre, however short-lived the game may be.
Excitebike 64 Review
The gameplay is arcade-like, but it is also deep and varied in that well-known Nintendo way. The visuals aren't perfect, but they are stunning nonetheless.
Martian Gothic: Unification Review
It's a missed opportunity for those hoping for a good blend of action and adventure elements.
40 Winks Review
40 Winks might be a good purchase for a parent with a 6- to 10-year-old who's just starting to play video games, but other than that, anyone looking for a quality platformer should look elsewhere.
SimCity 3000 Unlimited Review
It's best suited for those who haven't played much SimCity 3000 yet, though some of its scenario-editing features are better for hard-core SimCity fans.
1942 Review
Even though the gameplay is solid, the bland visuals and lackluster sound make 1942 a tough pill to swallow.
Asteroids Hyper 64 Review
Buy Asteroids Hyper 64 if you really, really adore the classic Asteroids, but all others are advised to either rent it or forget about it entirely.
Chase HQ: Secret Police Review
Chase H.Q.: Secret Police is fun to play, the strategy elements are engrossing, and the level design gives the game a sense of replay rarely seen in GBC racing titles.
Dracula Resurrection Review
Dracula Resurrection is a somewhat interesting adventure only because it's quick, easy, and atmospheric.
Motocross Madness 2 Review
Motocross Madness 2 isn't the most realistic motorcycle simulation you can buy, but it's definitely one of the most enjoyable.
Gauntlet Legends DC Review
Regardless of whether the original Gauntlet game was compelling enough to warrant an arcade remake, the Dreamcast version of Gauntlet Legends is a subpar button-masher that's neither interesting nor nostalgic.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire 2nd Edition Review
It pretty much delivers everything you'd expect from a PC version of the TV game show.
Bomberman 64: The Second Attack Review
Although Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is not at all revolutionary, it is not especially well executed in any particular area, and it suffers noticeably in the graphics and sound departments, but it still has its moments.
Flying Heroes Review
Flying Heroes looks superb, but it's definitely not just another first-person shooter.
Sky Surfer Import Review
IMPORT: Sky Surfer represents a situation where a decent concept is marred by flawed execution.
Grind Session Review
The game has great sound effects and an absolutely amazing soundtrack, featuring songs from artists such as Jurassic 5, GZA, Dr. Octagon, X-Ecutioners, NOFX, and Black Flag.
Space Channel 5 Review
Space Channel 5 absolutely oozes with style from beginning to end, and even though a bit of the game's charm has been lost in the translation from Japanese to English, it's still an interesting, yet criminally simplistic game.
Bust-A-Move 4 Review
The Dreamcast has a few solid puzzle games, but Bust-A-Move 4 is neither a new breed nor a game that will push the power of your Dreamcast to impressive new levels.
F1 World Grand Prix Review
If the game's release had been more timely and the frame rate problems minimized, it might have been a Spring blockbuster.
Casper GBC Review
For children from age 5 to 12, many fun hours of friendly haunting await. For adolescents and adults, however, there are better choices in the genre.
Industrial Spy Review
Unless you're extremely into the spy game genre, you should avoid this game at all costs.
Top Gun Review
Much like Slider in the movie upon which this air combat game is based, Top Gun for the DS does, in fact, stink.
Blades of Thunder II Review
There's nothing fun or exciting about flying helicopters in Blades of Thunder II. And considering that's all you do in the game, that's really sad.
Championship Bowling Review
Championship Bowling is further proof that bowling games are probably best left to cell phones.
SiN Episodes: Emergence Review
This is a pretty-looking, short, budget-priced, by-the-numbers futuristic shooter that's most notable for its episodic nature and its old heritage.
